Titanic Survivors Tell Their Story - 1990's

As of the 1990s, there were only a few known survivors of the Titanic disaster still alive. One of the most well-known survivors was Millvina Dean, who was just two months old when she and her family boarded the Titanic in 1912. Her father, Bertram Dean, had sold his family's shop in England and planned to start a new life in the United States. When the Titanic struck the iceberg, Millvina and her mother were able to escape on one of the lifeboats, but her father did not survive. Millvina was the youngest passenger on board the Titanic and the last living survivor until her death in 2009 at the age of 97. Another survivor who was alive in the 1990s was Lillian Asplund, who was five years old when she boarded the Titanic with her parents and three brothers. Only Lillian and her mother survived the sinking, as her father and brothers perished in the disaster. Lillian lived until 2006, passing away at the age of 99. Eva Hart was another well-known survivor who lived into the 1990s. She was seven years old when she boarded the Titanic with her parents and was able to escape on one of the lifeboats with her mother, while her father did not survive. Eva became a prominent advocate for safety measures on ships after the disaster and passed away in 1996 at the age of 91. Other Titanic survivors who were alive in the 1990s included Edith Brown Haisman, Barbara Dainton, and Michel Navratil, among others. All of these survivors have since passed away, and their stories and accounts of the Titanic disaster remain an important part of its history.
