During World War I, she served as a stewardess for the British Red Cross. She was on the hospital ship Britannic when it sank in the Aegean Sea off the coast of Greece, and again survived.

Jessop was a great storyteller and the addition of the editor's annotations made for a clear, easy read that kept me interested and entertained.
I was surprised at how easily Jessop resumed normal life after the sinkings of the Titanic and Britannic ships. I wonder how much healing time had passed before she actually penned these memoirs as her hindsight is unnaturally calm. She exhibited a great attitude about getting right back to her work and not allowing fear to keep her from pursuing the sea life she loved.
