pp.238, “After a childhood in Argentina and formative years in England, Violet Jessop spent her entire career at sea. She was a stewardess for first-class passengers on the TITANIC and she wrote an absolutely unique eyewitness account of the most written-about disaster of our time. Four years later, Jessop was a nurse aboard the hospital ship BRITANNIC when it struck a mine and sank to the bottom of the Aegean. Jessop had a knack for spinning fascinating tales of fellow stewards, wartime alarums, impossible passengers, philandering shipmates, exotic ports and tragic deaths. Her life story gives a unique vantage point to those who want to know how it really felt, a story that could be told only by a survivor.”
