Titanic Survivor Reading Response # 1

This book is about Violet Jessop. This book tells about her life before, during, and after her life on the sea. She was in two major shipwrecks. One was Titanic herself and the other was Britannic, a war ship. She was on Titanic's sister ship Olympic before she joined Titanic for those fateful five day. The description of the last night on Titanic was heartwrecking. Violet said the band was playing "The Last Night of Our Lives." What a perfect match for them as they sank with Titanic. This book was written by Violet Jessop herself and edited by John Maxtone-Graham. The chapter eighteen of this book is missing. Does this mssing chapter have anything to do with her life? Violet saw the mystery ship Calfornia on the night of the wreck. I have dozens of questions for this book. Could Calfornian have recused them all? Why did they not recuse the stranded men on Titanic? The book answers the question much later in the book.
