The odds of a ship sinking is about one in a million. The chances of surviving said sinking is even lower. Given this, it might just be safe to say that nurse and stewardess Violet Jessop, who survived three shipwrecks, is one of the luckiest women alive.

Violet Jessop, rightfully nicknamed the “Queen of Sinking Ships”, was born on Oct. 2, 1887 in Argentina. Jessop survived three different sinkings: the HMHS Britannic in 1916, the RMS Olympic in 1911, and most infamously, the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic in 1912.

Jessop’s unfortunate history with boats began when she became a stewardess for the White Star Line. She later served on the RMS Olympic. In 1911, the Olympic met its unfortunate demise after colliding with the British warship HMS Hawke.

Given that it was the early 1900s, ship safety was not as strongly enforced as it is now, it can be considered a miracle that Jessop survived, although it admittedly left her a bit wary of boarding another boat.

However, after persuasion from her friends who attempted to convince her it would be a “wonderful experience”. Jessop actually bought a copy of Hebrew prayer prior to boarding to protect herself from another incident. Clearly, it did not work and the RMS Titanic sank on April 15, 1912.

Jessop was especially brave during the whole ordeal, saving many lives by helping women and children to board the lifeboats.

After the sinking of the Titanic, Jessop’s luck still had yet to improve. On the morning of Nov. 21, 1916, Violet boarded a lifeboat to escape the sinking of the Britannic. On top of all that, she had to jump out of the lifeboat to avoid getting shredded to pieces by the ship’s propellers, resulting in a traumatic head injury in which she survived.

Despite all of this, Jessop went on to work in three more ships, all of which did not sink, to her surprise. She lived a very long life, eventually dying of congestive heart failure in 1971 at the age of 83. It is safe to say that Violet Jessop is truly a woman of bravery and honor.
