History The Last Titanic
Posted by Charles Mudede on Sun, May 31, 2009 at 4:16 PM
In the end, no one survived:
The last survivor of the sinking of the Titanic has died aged 97.Millvina Dean was nine weeks old when the liner sank after hitting an iceberg in the early hours of 15 April 1912, on its maiden voyage from Southampton.
The disaster resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people in the north Atlantic, largely due to a lack of lifeboats.
Miss Dean, who remembered nothing of the fateful journey, died on Sunday at the care home in Hampshire where she lived, two of her friends told the BBC.
Not farewell, but forward voyager.

Sure, the article doesn't need to point that out. But some people are stupid and need that type of information. Kind of like how some people confuse days-old with weeks-old, even though "nine weeks old" is clearly used.
