5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent insight into life at sea, 23 Mar 2001
I couldn't put this book down. Violet Jessop was an incredible woman, surviving not just one but three accidents at sea. Her attitude is admirable and as you read more and more, you come to admire and respect her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Violet Jessops intimate account of a life at sea, 27 May 2000
By ab..c (england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
V.J was born October 2nd, 1887 of Irish parents in Argentina. Her health was very poor during childhood, but eventually she and her parents returned to the u.k in poverty. She had to forgo a valuable scholarship to support her beloved family. Her life at sea has a well written, intelligent restraint feel about it. She served on the all three of the Olympic class ships; the Titanic, the Britanic and the Olympic, amongst others. The first one you know about, but the second was hit by a mine in WW1 and sunk in less than 40 mins. She had a cracked skull from the accident but continued to nurse! The main interest, that of the Titanic, is very low key and only occupies 20 pages or so. Don't let this put you off, however. This is typical of the woman; suppressing large tragic events and magnify romatically low key events. The life of a maid was very hard and poorly paid and all sacrificed their home and family life for the rigid task masters of the cruise liners. The love of her life-Ned-drifts in and out of the picture as they span the worlds oceans in toil & labour. She was a handsome, practical, intelligent and caring women. I liked her character and she weaves a saga of another age. We will not see her like again.
