Surviving the Titanic should have been enough trauma for one lifetime… but for Violet Jessop and Arthur John Priest, it was apparently just the middle chapter.
In this episode of The Part They Usually Leave Out, we’re talking about two people who survived not just the Titanic, but disasters aboard all three Olympic-class sister ships: Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic.
Violet Jessop was a stewardess and nurse. Arthur John Priest was a stoker working deep inside the ships. They didn’t appear to be close friends. They didn’t work the same jobs. They probably barely knew each other.
And yet somehow, when disaster struck the biggest ships of the White Star Line, they both kept showing up.
Two survivors connected by one of the strangest coincidences in maritime history and, honestly… after the third disaster, somebody probably should have started checking their luggage for cursed artifacts.
