The ashes of a woman who became the last survivor of the Titanic have been scattered following a memorial service.I've written before about Miss Dean. I'm saddened to hear about her death. With her passing, so goes an era.
Millvina Dean was nine weeks old when the liner sank after hitting an iceberg in the Atlantic on its maiden voyage from Southampton on 15 April 1912.
Miss Dean died in a care home in Hampshire on 31 May at the age of 97.
Born, like other comic book characters, out of an otherwise trivial but life-changing animal bite, the Rabid Librarian seeks out strange, useless facts, raves about real and perceived injustices, and seeks to meet her greatest challenge of all--her own life.
