MY TITANIC WEEK!
Ever since I reunited two Titanic
survivors in 1972 I get asked to
speak about the doomed ship every
April. So, since it's Titanic week,
let's go to sea! Violet Jessup went
to sea in 1911. She was an aid on
the Olympic, a sister whip to the
Tianic. Unfortunately the Olympic
was rammed accidentially by a
British warship and it sustained
heav damage. Fortunately it didn't
sink! Violet Jessup survived. She
went to sea again...on the Titanic!
Went it went down after hitting the
iceberg, Violet survived! She went
to sea again, on the Britannic, the
other sister ship to Titanic. The
Britannic hit a mine during the war
and sank. But, you guessed it, Violet
survived. I suppose if I were sailing
in those days I'd want to stay as close
to Violet as possible! She was a
survivor!! I'll be speaking about
Titanic tonight at the Archbald Historical
Society and again, on WBRE TV this
Frfiday. the 110th anniversary of the
sinking on PALive sometime after 3pm.
Hope you'll catch one of my Titanic
presentations and that all your NEWS
is good.
