Millvina Dean, Titanic’s last survivor, died on May 31, 2009 in Southampton. She was 97 and had been in poor health for several weeks.

The youngest of the ship’s 705 survivors, Ms. Dean was only 9 weeks old when the Titanic hit an iceberg (冰山) on the night of April 14, 1912. She survived with her mother and her 2-year-old brother. Mr. Dean, 29, was taking his family to a new life in Kansas City. He planned to run a tobacconist’s (煙草商) shop there. He was among more than 1,500 passengers and crew members who died in the sinking.

Ms. Dean never married and spent her working life in Southampton. For many years after the sinking, she never spoke of it to people she met or worked with, partly because she remembered nothing about it and partly because she did not want to be seen as drawing attention to herself.

But that changed after Sep. 1, 1985 when the wreck (殘骸) of the Titanic was discovered. That set off a wave of interest in the ship, especially after the movie Titanic. “They found the wreck and after they found the wreck, they found me,” she said.

In the last 20 years of her life, she went to gatherings in the USA, Canada and a number of European countries to take part in events related to the sinking. She said she had learned from her mother about what happened during the sinking.

Ms. Dean had never seen Titanic. She explained she was unwilling to be reminded of what had happened to her father.
