But the woman whose story you will now hear is the survivor of three shipwrecks - yet she continued to work on cruise ships as a stewardess. Her name is Violet Jessop - nicknamed "Miss Unsinkable"! Her mother worked as a stewardess at sea and, when she fell ill, young Violet followed in her footsteps. The first two years passed peacefully. But then, a series of incredible events - or misfortunes, depending on how you look at it - began. Violet got a job on the most luxurious ship of the time - the Royal Mail Ship Olympic. On September 20, 1911, Violet was working on the deck as usual. The sea was calm and nothing bad was in store. The ship sailed through the Solent Strait, which separates the Isle of Wight from the British coast. At that moment, the British military ship Hawke suddenly appeared in front. It was supposed to pass the Olympic, but something went wrong. The ships headed straight for each other. The captain of the Olympic tried to maneuver to avoid a collision, but he did not succeed. Fortunately, both ships remained afloat and no one was injured. But in April 1912, Violet Jessop got a job on the best and unsinkable ship of the time - the Titanic. #discovertheworld TIMELINES: Olympic 1:07 Titanic 3:36 Britannic 5:47 Subscribe to DISCOVER THE WORLD https://bit.ly/37SkPKx Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Materials used (photos, videos, etc.): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru
