Violet soon passed out aboard her lifeboat and awoke aboard a rescuing ship.

Who passed out? Violet passed out. Where was she when she woke up? She was aboard a rescuing ship when she woke up.

She later wrote in her diary about brushing her teeth with her prized toothbrush aboard the rescuing ship when one of the crew suspiciously asked her where she got the toothbrush.

Was the crewmember suspicious of Violet? Yes, the crewmember was suspicious of Violet.

Violet replied rather weakly, ‘I brought it with me.’ The crew member’s look of astonishment and suspicion made Violet wonder if the crew member thought she was in league with the enemy and had prepared a bag before the explosion.

Who was astonished, Violet or the crew member? The crew member was astonished. Was Violet in league with the enemy? No, Violet wasn’t in league with the enemy. Had she prepared a bag before the explosion? No, she hadn’t prepared a bag before the explosion.

In her later years she said she received a call from a woman who asked if she had saved a baby when the Titanic went down.

When Violet replied ‘yes,’ the woman on the phone claimed to be that baby.

If it was indeed the person Violet saved, she clearly didn’t have any better manners than her mother.

After saying, “I was that baby,” she laughed and hung up.

What did the woman do after saying, “I was that baby”? After saying, “I was that baby,” she laughed and hung up.

Her friend John told her that it was probably kids playing a prank on her, but she said that was impossible.

Did John think the call was really from the baby Violet saved? No, John didn’t think the call was really from the baby Violet saved. He thought it was probably kids playing a prank on her.

“No, John, I had never told that story to anyone before I told you now.” Did Violet think the call was real? Yes, Violet thought the call was real. Why did she think the call was real? She though the call was real because she had never told that story to anyone.

Violet Jessop finally passed away at the ripe age of 83, safely and peacefully on land.

While most would have been considered extremely lucky to survive a single one of those high profile disasters at sea, Violet made it through all three.

She truly was Miss Unsinkable.

The End.
