Who was the youngest passenger aboard Titanic and later its last living survivor?

Millvina Dean was the youngest passenger aboard Titanic and later became its last living survivor.

Born Eliza Gladys Dean on 2 February 1912, Millvina was only about nine weeks old when Titanic sailed from Southampton on its maiden voyage. She travelled in third class with her parents, Bertram and Georgette Dean, and her older brother, Bertram Vere. The family intended to emigrate to Wichita, Kansas, where her father hoped to help establish a tobacco shop.

When Titanic struck an iceberg on 14 April 1912, Millvina and her mother were placed in Lifeboat 10. Her father did not survive, and her mother returned to England with the children rather than continue to the United States. Millvina later worked as a civil servant and cartographer and did not remember the sinking personally.

After the death of Barbara West Dainton in October 2007, Dean became the last living Titanic survivor. She died of pneumonia in Hampshire on 31 May 2009, aged 97. Eva Hart was another well-known child survivor, but she was older; Barbara West was also younger than many survivors but was not the last to live.
