Millvina Dean
Had a great shoot today with Millvina Dean, the last remaining survivor of the Titanic.
Elizabeth Gladys Dean, better known as Millvina, was born February 2 1912 and was only 10 weeks old when the Titanic sank, the youngest of all the passengers onboard, is now the last living survivor of the Titanic. She now lives in Southampton, where the ship set sail on her maiden voyage. The Deans boarded the ship as third-class passengers and Millvina was barley two months old when she boarded at Southampton. Millvina’s father felt the ships collision with the iceberg on the night of April 14 1912, and after investigating, returned to his cabin telling his wife to dress the children and go up on deck. Millvina, her mother, and brother were placed in Lifeboat 10 and were among the first steerage passengers to escape despite only 30% of steerage babies surviving the sinking liner in which over 1,500 soles perished. Her father, however, did not survive, and his body, if recovered, was never identified. Millvina’s brother, Bertram, died at the age of 81 on April 14 1992, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the Titanic striking the iceberg.
