rlbasley 's review for:
Violet Jessup is certainly an interesting person. A woman who spent 42 years of her life working for various ship lines at sea. This is even more remarkable as she not only survived the sinking of the Titanic but also the sinking of the Britannia and still went back to service on ships.
There is interesting information about both sinkings such as the people in the rescue ships of the Titanic saw a ship in the distance and thought it was coming to rescue them. And that many people died horridly in the sinking of the Britannia because of the captains determination to get to shallower waters.
As a read the book was more a collection of tales than a cohesive story. It is disjointed but interesting. It’s not my favorite book but it’s definitely worth the read.
