Britain's only remaining Titanic survivor Millvina Dean has died. Her family planned to emigrate to Kansas in America where her father Bertram would open a tobacco shop. But he was killed along with more than 1,500 other people in the 1912 disaster and the rest of the family, Miss Dean, her mother Georgetta and older brother Bertram returned to England. According to enthusiasts' website Encyclopedia Titanica (ET), on the journey home passengers would queue to hold her, in wonder that such a small child had survived. Born on February 2, 1912, her real name was Elizabeth Gladys Dean, but she was known as Millvina. Miss Dean worked for the government as a cartographer during World War II and then for an engineering company. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/5418322/Titanic-Millvina-Dean-was-the-youngest-passenger-on-board.html
