Question:DEAN, Miss Elizabeth Gladys "Millvina" is the only survivor still alive today.

At the time of the sinking of the Titanic:
Age: 2 months
Class on Board: 3rd
Ticket No: 2315
Fare: £20 11s 6d
Boarded: Southamptom
Life Boat: No 10

Miss Elizabeth Gladys Dean, better known as Millvina, was born on 2 February 1912.
She was the daughter of Bertram Frank Dean and Georgette Eva Light Dean.
In April, 1912 she was only nine-weeks-old and was, with her parents and elder-brother Bertram, about to emigrate to Wichita, Kansas where her father hoped to open a tobacconist shop.
Millvina boarded the Titanic at Southampton with her parents and brother.
Millvina, her mother and brother were all rescued.
They returned to England aboard the Adriatic. It was on the Adriatic that Millvina became quite a spectacle: that such a tiny baby could have came through the ordeal alive. First and Second Class passengers on the Adriatic queued to hold her, and many took photographs of her, her mother and brother, several of which were published in contemporary newspapers.

"She was the pet of the liner during the voyage, and so keen was the rivalry between women to nurse this lovable mite of humanity that one of the officers decreed that first and second class passengers might hold her in turn for no more than ten minutes"
