I think they should be buried on the Titanic like they do the Arizona.

I agree that they shouldn't be eligible for DeathList (unless one of them becomes famous suddenly!) but this thread still makes for very interesting reading. Really only 3 left?!

For those who have time to spend, here is an interesting site which gives (and requests) information about descendents of Titanic survivors.

 

There may be some 2nd or 3rd generation Titanic survivors who could be famous enough for DL when their time comes.

Perhaps, only those whose who would not exist if their ancestor had not survived could truly be eligible for this category.

My Grandfather survived the sinking of the Titanic. He remained on dry land.

That echoes Spike Milligan:

Speaking of near misses, my grandparents were supposed to be on the ship Exodus, talk about luck.

What about the ones who had booked passage and never boarded Titanic. What is that inner feeling that tells us not to go. Can you imagine :D;):lol:;)

Round of applause for the least coherent and worse spelling and grammar posting for quite some time.

 

11 words, should have been 12, the first 3 were badly spelt and grammatically shoddy and it added precisely nothing to my life. In fact, I'd rather like those 3 seconds it took to read back again please.

But at least they included an email address for you to flame.

 

I particularly liked the "stay on the and die" bit.

Stay on the what????

Let me add some sense to this thread. Here's a, pretty recent, answer to that question raised by the topic starter.

 

Answer: Three.

Overuse of commas in inappropriate places is my department. I'm not sure there's room for two of us.

 

Find yourself a different trademark please! <_<

Another good one is on the Richard Whiteley thread from "WhiskeyHead"

THIS FORUM IS ALL TO BALLOCKS

I still can't work out what it means.

Oh, I don't know; commas are cheap.

To really annoy the pedant's theres always the misused apostrophe.

If any of this lot could count for the deathlist it would be Milvena Dean. She did make a - predictably low key - career as a Titanic survivor doing a few of those TV shows where C-list celebs have to guess the secret of the person in front of them. The proof that Milvena was a low grade celeb at best is that she often foxed the celebs who clearly didn't think 'oh here comes that old luvvie from the sinking ship again.'

 

So, does C-list fifties and sixties TV star count here?

Actually I came across an old, but interesting website called Survivor's of The Titanic that listed 7 known titanic survivors that were still alive in 1998. Below are their ages in 1908 when this tragedy occurred:

 

(correction: The tragedy occurred April 15th, 1912)

 

Lillian Gertrude (5 ½ years old)

Barbara West (3 ½ years old)

Elizabeth Gladys (Millvina) Dean (10 weeks old)

Lousie Laroche (3 years old)

Michael M Navratil (3 ½ years old)

Winnifred Vera (8 years old) :lol:

Eleanor Iieen Johnson (18 months old) :o

 

So far, I have only found confirmation of 2 deaths from the above list:

 

Eleanor Ileen Johnson - died March 7th, 1998

Winnifred Vera died - July 4th, 2002

 

So it is possible that there are still 5 known survivors. :lol:

This is a classical example of hypocrisy! You are unable to spell or use proper grammar, but you insist on calling someone else stupid. :lol::o

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.
