In just six years, three cruise ships were shipwrecked and became the most unlucky company in history. But worse than White Star is a lady who happened to be on the boat when three shipwrecks happened, but at the same time this lady is the luckiest, because she survived every shipwreck, so she is called "unsinkable lady".

This woman's name is Violet Jessop. Violet Jessop 1887 10 was born in the Argentine port of Blanca. Violette's parents are Irish immigrants. She is the eldest daughter and has nine brothers and sisters. Violette's life is destined to be extraordinary. As a teenager, she was diagnosed with tuberculosis. The doctor predicted that she had only a few months to live, but violette did nothing, but miraculously recovered. Since then, "bad luck" and "luck" have been with her.

After graduation, violette followed in her mother's footsteps and became a waitress. From that year on, violette's bad luck and good fortune began at the same time.

19 10 British White Star Shipping Company Olympic Cruise Recruitment, violette successfully applied for a waitress. Olympic was one of the largest and most luxurious cruise ships in the world at that time, and its salary was naturally the best among its peers.

Violette worked on an Olympic cruise ship for the first time. The cruise ship set sail from Southampton, England. Not long after going out to sea, it rear-ended with the Royal Navy Protection Cruiser Hawke, and its hull was damaged. Fortunately, the shipwreck was not devastating, only some people were injured, and the Olympic ship was able to return to its post to repair itself.

When the Olympic returned for maintenance, violette and his colleagues were soon arranged to be waiters on another luxury cruise ship of White Star Company, Titanic. 1912 April 10, violette officially boarded the Titanic, and four days later, the Titanic made its maiden voyage.

The sinking of Titanic was the greatest disaster in the 20th century. Of the 2224 crew members and passengers, 1, 5 14 were killed, and only 7 10 survived. Violette is one of the 765,438+00 survivors.

When the Titanic was shipwrecked, because many passengers on board did not understand English, violette was responsible for showing passengers how to use the lifeboat and assisting in the rescue. Then violette boarded the lifeboat 16 with her women and children, and was rescued by the rescue boat Cabofia the next morning. More than six months after the Olympic Games accident, violette was shipwrecked again and survived again.

Two years after the sinking of the Titanic, World War I broke out. At this time, violette was no longer a waitress on a cruise ship, but was recruited as a nurse of the British Red Cross. However, fate played a joke on violette again.

After arriving in the Greek waters, the Britannik was suddenly attacked by a German U-76 submarine (a German mine), causing a big explosion and the hull sank rapidly. Violette and several wounded soldiers escaped in a lifeboat, which was sucked by the stern, and the propeller almost hung up several people. Fortunately, due to violette's thick hair, although his skull was hit by the stern, he was not in danger and survived. The Britannick was shipwrecked, and violette was in the most dangerous situation, but she escaped.

1920, violette returned to work in White Star Shipping. After White Star went bankrupt, he went to work in Royal Mail Shipping. Because violette experienced three shipwrecks in six years, she was called "the unsinkable lady".
