Ocean Liner Titanic’s Last Survivor-Millvina Dean 97 Has Died. The historical Titanic was the largest passenger steamship and was dubbed unsinkable but on it’s maiden voyage from Southampton in southern England to New York. It sank April 14, 1912, when it hit an submerged iceberg, killing more than 1,500 people.

Millvina Dean was only an infant when the RMS Titanic sank and perhaps the reason she is the last survivor of that fateful voyage.

Brian Ticehurst, a personal friend of Millvina Dean, stated that Millvina died at 8 a.m. Sunday, May 31st, 2009, in her nursing home.

Charles Haas a friend and President of the Titanic International Society based in New Jersey, states that “Millvina Dean was hospitalized a few days ago for medical complications before returning to the Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home in Southampton.”

Haas continued saying that “Ms. Dean’s last public appearance was at the British Titanic Society’s convention in April, which she attended with her longtime companion, Bruno Nordmanis. She only visited a short while, but she wowed everybody with her charm. She seemed in good spirits.”
