Millvina Dean: Titanic’s Last Living Link

Uncategorized

Millvina Dean, the last living survivor of the Titanic has passed away.  Her passing is a huge loss to the Titanic community and to the world.  From now on, information obtained about the great ship will have to come from artifacts and books.   Although Millvina was only 3 months old when she and her mother left the sinking Titanic in a lifeboat, she took it upon herself (albeit rather late in life) to learn as much as she could about the ship she had been carried from in her mother’s arms.  A bubbly, personable woman, she generously shared all she learned from research and from information she was able to glean from her mother.  Quick-witted, yet every bit a lady, Millvina represented the great ship well.  She rarely turned down a request to speak about the Titanic and she especially loved sharing her knowledge with children.  Millvina Dean, the lady with the lilting British accent will always be revered and remembered as the last living link to the the most famous ship to ever sail the Atlantic.
