MILLVINA Dean, the youngest passenger on the Titanic and the last living link with history's most famous sunken ship, has died at a nursing home in Hampshire, England, aged 97.

Snip
Millvina and her mother, who had lost track of her son in the panic and chaos, were seated in lifeboat 10 and were among the first steerage passengers to escape the sinking liner.

Millvina was so tiny that she had to be lifted into the lifeboat in a postal sack. Their boat drifted in the water for several hours before they were rescued and taken aboard the Carpathia, a ship that had answered the Titanic's distress call.











No one gets out of this life ....alive.

Saw this on the news last night, and when I found out she was only a few weeks old at the time it seemed to lose significance since she wouldn't have remembered it.

I guess it must have been strange for her to be associated all her life with an event she had no recollection of.
