Titanic Survivor:mems.of Violet Jessop (

'I did not like big ships...I was secrelty afraid' admits Violet Jessop in this unique eyewitness account of the most written about disaster of the twentieth century. Violet was a stewardess for first-class passengers on the TITANIC when it sank in April 1912. While in the lifeboat someone threw her a 'forgotten baby', and she watched fascinated as the ship went down. Four years later, she was a wartime nurse aboard the BRITANNIC, when it stuck a mine and sank. These memoirs give a unique glimpse of the life below decks, telling of philandering shipmates, exotic ports, unrequited love and tragic deaths.
