Last Titanic survivor

At the age of just nine weeks, Millvina Dean was lowered to safety from the deck of the sinking Titanic. Now, she is selling the last of her memorabilia to help pay her nursing home fees.

Almost 100 years after it dipped below the waves of the Atlantic, the supposedly unsinkable ocean liner still exerts a powerful hold on our collective imagination. . .

From the BBC. The auction catalog may be viewed here; the sale is on the 18th, and includes a wide range of liner memorabilia in addition to the Titanic material.
