    Description

    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, &
    PLACED IN A KRAFT STAY FLAT MAILER. I SHIP VIS USPS WITH TRACKING.
    THANKS FOR LOOKING & CHECK BACK OFTEN AS I AM ADDING NEW ITEMS EVERY DAY!
