About the book

"I did not like big ships...I was secretly 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 on its maiden voyage in April 1912 after hitting an iceberg. 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 struck a mine and sank. These memoirs give a unique glimpse of life below decks, tellings of philandering shipmmates, exotic ports, unrequited love and tragic deaths.
