Millvina Dean, who was the last survivor of Titanic passed away yesterday according to
AFP. The 97 year old woman was just 9 weeks when the liner she was on famously sunk in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. Her mother, brother and her survived while her father did not. The family was planning on moving to Kansas at the time, but after they were rescued they moved back to Southhampton. Millvina was not told about the day that changed her life until she was 8 years old.
So sad that one of the most impactful moments of the 20th century no longer has anyone that was there to tell its story.
