Miss Dean lived to become
the disaster's last survivor. She died Sunday at the age of 97 in
Southampton, the English port from which her family sailed on the
ill-fated liner, intending to begin a new life in the United States.
Miss Dean's friend Gunter Babler said she died in her sleep at
Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home early Sunday, the 98th anniversary of
the launch of the ship that was billed as "practically unsinkable."
