The Youngest Passenger Became Famous
Elizabeth Gladys Millvina Dean, Titanic’s youngest surviving passenger, was only 9 months old when she boarded the ship with her mother, father, and her older brother, Bertram. She escaped with her mother and brother, but her father died in the sinking. Her family was supposed to be moving to America, but with the death of her husband, Gladys’ mother decided to move back to Southampton. Millvina was described as being “the darling of the ship” the whole way back to England.
