We have all heard about the infamous accidents, tragic losses, and mysterious sinkings of the Titanic, Britannic, and Olympic. The Titanic, which was announced as the unsinkable ship, sank in the deserted North Atlantic Ocean on April 14, 1912, when the ship hit an iceberg.
Many lives were lost, and very few survived. The Britannic was refitted as a hospital ship during World War I; the ship struck a mine and sank on November 21, 1916, killing 30 people and saving 1,036. The Olympic had one of the most dramatic and luckiest careers of all time.
This ship, also known as the twin sister of the Titanic, was launched on October 20, 1910. The Olympic was attacked by the Hawke\u2019s bow, causing two holes and flooding a compartment. Remarkably, it crossed to Southampton on its own; the ship never sank, no one was killed, and it earned a heroic reputation. As per reports, one common link between these three ship incidents was a nurse on board. According to Titanic survivors memoirs, Violet Jessop, a nurse, was on board all three ships. Was Violet Jessop a lucky or unlucky survivor on board?<\/p>\n

Violet Jessop, also known as the “Queen of Sinking Ships,” was born on October 2, 1887, in Argentina. Her father was a sheep farmer. As a child, Violet contracted tuberculosis, and doctors said she would not survive, but she managed to overcome the disease. She became a stewardess for the White Star Line, working 17-hour days and earning \u00a32 monthly. She served in the Olympic when it collided with a British warship, the HMS Hawke, in 1911. The following year, she survived the infamous Titanic incident in 1912. In 1916, she went aboard the Britannic, which sank in the Aegean Sea during World War I.<\/p>\n

Violet was happy at the Olympic and did not want to board the Titanic, but her friends persuaded her by saying it would be a wonderful experience. In her memoir, she mentioned that she bought a copy of a Hebrew prayer said to protect her against fire and water, which she kept with her and prayed every day. In her memoir, she mentioned that during the Titanic incident, she was helping a woman and child get on a lifeboat. She put down the baby to help another patient, and by the time she returned, she saw that the baby had disappeared. After retiring in 1950, she received an anonymous call. When she answered, the caller said, \u201cJessop?\u201d She replied, \u201cYes,\u201d and the voice said, \u201cI was that baby,\u201d laughed, and hung up.
Violet helped and saved many lives on board; during each incident, she cared for passengers and patients, ensuring they were safe and not injured. She survived many challenges, showing her dedication and strong commitment to her role. She cared about others’ well-being, health, and safety she died on May 5th 1971<\/p>\n
