The last survivor of the sinking of the Titanic died at a British nursing home yesterday at the age of 97.
Millvina Dean was the liner's youngest passenger - just two months old - when it sank on its maiden voyage with the loss of 1,523 lives.
On the night of April 14, 1912, Mr Dean felt the ship hit the iceberg and, after investigating, told his wife to dress the children and go up on deck.
Millvina, her mother, and brother were put in Lifeboat 10. Her father remained on board and died when the ship broke in two and sank.
The surviving Deans were picked up by the Carpathia and after three weeks recovering in New York they returned to England and settled in Hampshire. |
