Which ship rescued Violet Jessop from Britannic?

Jessop's rescuing vessel remains unidentified, while her survival of the propeller incident and possible work ashore are raised tentatively.

Question

Which ship rescued Violet Jessop after Britannic sank?

Short answer

The vessel is not established here. Reaching shore and helping at a nursing station is suggested as another possibility.

Notes

The rescuing vessel is not identified. Jessop is tentatively placed in one of the boats drawn into Britannic's propellers, which would mean that she survived that disaster as well as the sinking. Whether a ship picked her up or she made it ashore remains uncertain. A suggestion that she helped establish a nursing station rests on secondary accounts, without confirmation from her own recollection.
