People who survive the sinking of a ship often fear the water for the rest of their lives. But the woman whose story you will hear today survived not one, not even two, but three disasters and continued to work on cruise ships as a stewardess. Her name was Violet Jessop – Miss Unsinkable! Initially, her mother worked as a stewardess at sea, but when she fell ill, young Violet followed in her footsteps. The first two years passed peacefully for her. Until, at some point, a series of incredible events began in the girl's life – or rather unfortunate, depending on how you look at it. Violet got a job on the most luxurious liner of the time: the British RMS Olympic. On September 20, 1911, she worked as usual on deck. The sea was calm and there was no sign of impending disaster. The ship sailed through the Solent Strait, which separates the Isle of Wight from the British coast. At that moment, the cruiser Hawke appeared opposite. He should have avoided the Olympic, but something went wrong. The ships were heading straight towards each other. The captain of the Olympic tried to swerve to avoid a collision, but without success. Both ships stayed afloat and no one was hurt. But in April 1912, Violet Jessop got a job on the best unsinkable ship ever built – the Titanic. #brightside TIME: Olympic 1:43 Titanic 3:27 Britanic 5:20 Music: Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ The materials used (photos, videos and more) come from: https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ___________________ Subscribe to the Bright Side https://bit.ly/2n9VrJj __________________ Bright Side: / @jasnastrona FB https://business.facebook.com/Jasna-S... https://jasnastrona.com _________________ Subscribe to our channels: La La Lajf / @lalalajf 5-Minute Tricks https://bit.ly/2J4IN8l 5-MINUTE TRICKS for GIRLS https://bit.ly/2txVU7w 5-MINUTE TRICKS for CHILDREN https://bit.ly/2F40z7V
