There are two remaining Survivors both female and both living in the UK, however they were babies at the time so neither have a recollection of the night.


Lillian Gertrud Asplund was the last American survivor of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and also the last survivor who has memories of the vessel's demise.
Born: 1907 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Died: 6 May, 2006, in Shrewsbury Massachusetts, aged 99.


Remaining Survivors are;



Miss Barbara Joyce West

On May 6, 2006, the last American survivor, and the last survivor to have memories of Titanic's sinking, Lillian Gertrud Asplund, died at her home in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. Asplund, who was just 5 years old at the time, lost her father and three brothers (including her fraternal twin) in the tragedy. Her mother Selma Asplund and brother Felix, then 3, survived. Selma Asplund had died on the anniversary of the sinking in 1964. [6]<br /><br />At the time of Lillian Asplund's death, survivors Barbara Joyce West Dainton of Truro, England, ten months old at the time of the sinking, and Elizabeth Gladys "Millvina" Dean of Southampton, England, who was two months old, were still living, but were too young to have memories of the catastrophe. Therefore, with the death of Lillian Gertrude Asplund, first-hand experience of the Titanic's sinking has passed out of living memory.<br /><br />(found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic#Last_survivors)<br />

I read online that as if August 14, 2006 there are two survivors still alive:

Barbara Joyce West
&
Elizabeth Gladys "Milvina" Dean

Barbara was 10 months and 22 days old when the Titanic sank.
Barbara, her mother and her older sister escaped on a lifeboat, but her father died in the sinking. She lives in Truro, England and is 95 years old.

Elizabeth was on 10 months old when Titanic sank. She was actually the youngest aboard all 2,227 people on the ship. Her family boarded as third-class passengers at Southampton with the intention of imigrating to Kansas. She was rescued in a lifeboat. She never married and now lives in Southampton, England and is 94.
