Titanic survivor

Violet Jessop, a stewardess on the Titanic, had the misfortune to be on two liners that sank and to survive both of these events. Her insights into the sinking of the Titanic in particular give historians a look at the disaster from the point of view of a crew member close to the passengers but not one of them. Violet Jessup never married and supported her mother. Her nieces kept her letters and personal mementos and were instrumental in the publication of this book.
