She Survived The Titanic, Olympic, And Britannic Disasters
Inadvertently becoming a great adventurer
What comes to your mind when you think of an adventurer? Maybe you think of an extreme athlete.
Then again, it could be one of those explorers of old — charting rivers no humans have laid eyes on. Some might even say a warrior. However, I have another idea in mind — a random woman working on a cruise ship. Stick with me a bit.
Now, what if I told you this random woman survived the Titanic disaster, after surviving a devastating collision on its sister ship the Olympic. However, this random woman wasn’t done yet. She then went on to survive the explosion of the Titanic’s final sister ship the Britannic.
It’s just too coincidental or crazy to be believable. If I told this story to you at a bar after work, you’d likely call it bull and move on. Strangely, this story is true. Violet Jessop survived the three historic disasters, although many may not know the tale.
For those conspiracy theorists among you, she didn’t mastermind the disasters. She was just a random employee at the wrong place, at the wrong time — frequently.
She might be jokingly called a bad luck charm but, you can’t deny she was an adventurer. Maybe not in the traditional sense, but just…
