Titanic's last survivor dies

Jun 1 - Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the Titanic, died on Sunday (May 31) at the age of 97, the Press Association reports

Dean was only 9 weeks old when her family travelled on Titanic in hopes of beginning a new life in the United States.

Her father was one of the 1,517 casualties after the supposedly unsinkable ship hit an iceberg in the Atlantic.

She died in the early hours of Sunday after being cared for at a nursing home in Southampton, from where the Titanic began its fateful maiden voyage.

In an interview televised less than a year before her death, Dean said she "must be rather an odd person" because she didn't think anything of having lived through such a famous event.
