Lady Die 63 Posted July 19, 2005 When you consider the percentage of SURVIVORS who were women, the fact that the survivors still alive in 1998 are all women isn't surprising at all. The fact that women (on average) live longer than men may also be a factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotten Ali 600 Posted July 19, 2005 Stacy Rae Jankowski Posted on Jul 7 2005, 02:50 AM As of today, July 6th 2005, There are 3 known survivors of the S.S. Titanic. Lillian Gertrude Asplund, who is now 99 years old. Barbara West, who is now 93 years old. Elizabeth Gladys ( Millvina ) Dean, who is now 92 years old. I would not usually pick fault with the posters insight on detail but since Stacy has somehow got the ages of all three ladies wrong (to my basic internet lead research) I've posted again to clarify. Lillian (Gertrude) Asplund: Born 21/10/06. She was 5½ years of age on The Titanic in 3rd class. She would be 98 years and 9 months old now. Lives in Alseda, Smaland, Sweeden. Barbara Joyce (West) Dainton: Born 24/05/11. She was 10 months and 22 days old on The Titanic in 2nd class. She would be 94 years and 2 months old now. Lives in Truro, Devon, England. Eliza (or Elizabeth) Gladys (Milvina) Dean: Born 02/02/12. She was 10 weeks old on The Titanic in 3rd class. She would be 93 years and 5 months old now. Lives in Hampshire, England.

Guest Me Posted August 19, 2005 So, no survivors who actually remember it? Although the 5 1/2 year old might remember something. Isn't it weird that the list of survivors in 1998 is almost entirely women, I know they live longer but still, I find it amusing. Do you actually know anything about the Titanic? Most of the survivors were women because they loaded the lifeboats with "women and children first. It seems that it would make sense that there would be more of a chance that there would be more women surviors alive b/c of that AND the fact that women generally live longer.

I know the women and children first routine of course. Just that among the male children hardly any were still alive in 1998 was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fonedo Posted September 8, 2005 Millvena Dean is alive and in good condition. She is the youngest living survivor of the tragedy, Millvena Dean - who was only nine weeks old when the ship went down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Four Horsemen 26 Posted September 10, 2005 I bet the ship stills sinks - unless it's the usual Hollywood nonsense and the good ol' US of A marines arrive at the last minute and save everyone, whilst simultaneously discovering a cure for cancer and beating Einstein to his theory of relativity........

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted September 10, 2005 I think in the new version the crew guard the possessions of the rich white passengers whilst anyone poor and black is left to bob helplessly in the water. I saw a clip on the news this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy 21 Posted September 13, 2005 Was a toss up whether to post this in the Titanic thread or the joke thread, but this one was higher up the list Doctor, lawyer and priest all on the Titanic as it starts to go down. The Doctor shouts 'Save the children', the lawyer says back 'Screw the children'. The priest looks at both and asks 'Do we have time?' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Millvena Dean Posted September 15, 2005 The memories of that night in April 1912 are still with me .... "Nearer my God to thee" being played as the ship sank, Kate Winslet floating about on a deckchair. It's as if it were only yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
