The ship was brand new and so was Millvina Dean, just two months old, the youngest passenger on the Titanic1.

 "And this is your mother and you."

 "Yeah."

 But 96 years old Millvina, the last living Titanic survivor2 needs the luck now she had then.

 "I was too small, so I was put in the sack."

 "In a sack."

 "Yep, and put overboard into the lifeboat."

 Mother and daughter were saved, so was her brother. Her father perished. But now Millvina needs another rescue, like a lot of people, she's going broke.

 "I don't know have how much you’ll think I pay here a month, have a guess."

 "I wouldn't know, well, ur... 500 pounds."

 "3000."

 About 5000 dollars for her keep at this nursing home. Millvina is having to auction3 off her Titanic souvenirs, the suitcase given to her family in New York, the letter offering compensation from the Titanic victim’s fund, a few prints. But another rescue may be at hand. As her story spread, people decided4 to help. A printer in Mclean Virginia.

 "I really felt that this was a, this was something that could really pay lasting5 tribute to all the people who died on the Titanic."

 "I would have no, what's supposed [to be] the word, mat...materialistic6, (right.) not the slightest bit, I'm a nail." Millvina Dean, a survivor then, a survivor now. Mark Phillips, CBS News, Southampton, England.
