VIOLET JESSOP- WHAT AN AMAZING WOMAN!!!VIOLET SURVIVED TUBERCULOSIS AS A CHILD.
WHEN HER FATHER DIED, HER MOTHER LEFT TO BECOME A STEWARDESS ON AN OCEAN LINER; LEAVING VIOLET AT AGE 16 TO CARE FOR HER YOUNGER SISTER.
THEY WERE TAKEN INTO A CONVENT.
LATER SHE FOLLOWED IN HER MOTHERS FOOTSTEPS AND WENT TO SEA AS A STEWARDESS.
VIOLET WAS ONE TOUGH COOKIE-- CONSIDERED QUITE ATTRACTIVE, SHE HELD HER OWN IN A MAN'S WORLD & GREW TO BE RESPECTED BY HER CREW MATES.
VIOLET SURVIVED 3 NOTABLE INCIDENTS:
1- 1911, SHE WAS ON BOARD RMS OLYMPIC DURING THE COLISSION WITH THE HMS HAWKE
2- 1912, SHE SURVIVED THE SINKING OF THE RMS TITANIC.
3- 1916, SERVING AS A NURSE DURING WW1 ABOARD BRITTANIC, SHE SURVIVED THAT SINKING AS WELL.
THIS LISTING IS FOR A NICE TRIBUTE TO VIOLET.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED- THE PRINT LOOKS MUCH NICER AND NOT AS DARK.
IT IS PRINTED ON 65LB ACID FREE, ARCHIVAL PARCHMENT ( MINUS THE WATERMARK)
I WILL SHIP YOUR REPRINT IN A SHEET PROTECTOR, SANDWICHED BETWEEN 2 CHIPBOARDS, &
