MINI BELIEVE IT OR NOT –

John Priest was one of the lucky few to survive the sinking of the Titanic only to face five more sinking ships in his lifetime. 

John Priest was a “fireman” on the Titanic. Someone responsible for shoveling coal into the ship’s furnaces
The first sinking ship he survived was the Asturias in 1907
Then he survived the Olympic’s collision with HMS Hawke in 1911
The Titanic sank in April 1912
He was on the Alcantara when it was torpedoed in February 1916
The Britannic hit a mine and sank in November 1916
And then he survived the sinking of his final ship the Donegal in April 1917
He died of natural causes in 1937, and then might have been reincarnated as the cat Unsinkable Sam

MINI BION
“BIONs” – short for Believe It or Not – is the word we use at Ripley’s to refer to anything that is unbelievable and worthy to become part of Ripley’s lore and collection.
