Ladies and gentlemen, meet Violet Constance Jessop. On aboard the Titanic, she was an ocean liner stewardess and a nurse. Not only did she survive the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, she later went on to survive the sinking on Titanic's sister ship, Britannic in 1916. Even more amazing, in 1911 she was on board of another sister ship RMS Olympic which collided with the naval vessel HMS Hawke and nearly sank as well. What finally got her though, was heart congestive failure in 1971. She died at the ripe old age of 82.Surviving two sunken ships, and one close call, I'm not sure if she's extremely lucky, or extremely unlucky. Guess she's in both categories.
