The ship struck an iceberg and sank in less than three hours. Around 1,500 people perish, making it one of the greatest and deadliest peacetime maritime disasters of its time. Around seven hundred people survived. Eliza Gladys Millvina Dean, known as Millvina Dean, was just two months old when she boarded the Titanic with her parents and older brother. Embarked in third class, they were about to emigrate to Kansas, where her father hoped to open a tobacconist's shop. Millvina, her mother and brother were all rescued and returned to England. The body of her missing father, if found at all, has never been identified. A British civil servant and cartographer, it wasn't until she was in her seventies that she became a Titanic celebrity, busy attending conventions, exhibitions and appearing in documentaries. Millvina Dean, the youngest passenger on board, was the last survivor of the sinking. She died in 2009 at the age of 97. Beatrice Irene Sandström, born in San Francisco to Swedish parents who emigrated to the USA in the 1900s, was one year old when she boarded the Titanic with her mother and sister as third-class passengers. All three were saved. Later in life, she ran a bakery in Sweden until her retirement. Beatrice died in 1995, aged 85. Eva Hart, born in England, was 7 years old when she boarded the Titanic with her parents, bound for a new life in Winnipeg (Canadian province of Manitoba). She became one of the Titanic's best-known survivors. Embarked in second class with her parents, she survived the disaster with her mother, who had feared a problem at the start of the crossing. The body of her missing father, if found at all, was never identified. Eva remained very active in Titanic-related activities well into her 80s. She took part in several conventions and wrote an autobiography, ‘Shadow of the Titanic - A Survivor's Story’. She died in 1996, aged 91.
