A MOST UNFORTUNATE BUT LUCKY WOMAN! #history #ww1 #titanic #shorts #lucky

Violet Jessop was a nurse and stewardess and is perhaps the luckiest, unluckiest seafarer in history. Confused? Let me explain.
In 1910, she became an employee of White Star Line and started working on the liner, Olympic. On 20 September 1911, the Olympic collided with HMS Hawke, a British warship designed to ram into other ships and sink them. The Olympic's hull was breached, but it still managed to sail into port. Violet Jessop was not harmed in the accident.
Several months later, Violet Jessop found herself on the crew of the RMS Titanic, a name forever etched in maritime history. Departing from Southampton on 10 April 1912, the luxurious liner met its tragic fate, striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean. Two hours after the collision, the ship sank, claiming the lives of 1,503 passengers. Violet Jessop's survival, nursing a passenger's baby in a lifeboat, is a testament to her courage and the human spirit in the face of such a devastating event.
On 13 November 1915, she joined the Britannic, which was renamed HMHS (His Majesty's Hospital Ship) and placed under the command of Captain Charles Bartlett. The Britannic completed five successful voyages. On 21 November 1916, it was in the Aegean Sea when it struck a mine planted by a German submarine. It sunk 57 minutes later, but Violet survived.
Despite facing death at sea multiple times, Jessop continued her work on ocean liners until her retirement, spanning an impressive 32 years.

Wow! BTW, Olympic was an Ocean Liner, not a cruise ship.
