WHO is the last living survivor of the tragic event - sinking RMS TITANIC - that hit the iceberg on the night of April 14,1912. It did not have enough lifeboats for all 2,200 passengers and crew, and only 700 people - mostly women and children - survived. Milivina Dean, the last living survivor was just two months old, was among the 700 people. She was wrapped and lowered into a lifeboat from the deck of the sinking RMS Titanic.
Now, more than 95 years later, is hoping to help pay her nursing home fees by selling artefacts of her rescue - a suitcase and other mementos expected to auction.
The suitcase and other mementose are to be sold today ( Oct 18,2008) in London at an auction organised by Henry Aldridge & Son. which specialises in Titanic ememorabilia. Last year, a collection of items belonging to Ms Lilian Aspund, the last American survivor of the disaster, sold for more than GBP 100k.
