Description - Titanic Survivor: The Memoirs of a Stewardess by 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.
