History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Millvina Dean

The last survivor of the RMS Titanic disaster, Millvina Dean is pictured holding a painting of the ship that would carry her and her family to a better life in America. At nine weeks old, Dean was the youngest passenger on the Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912.
Pictured (circa 1912/1913) with her older brother Bertram, Millvina Dean passed away on May 31, 1999 at the age of 97 in Southampton, England, the very port from where the Titanic would depart on her ill-fated voyage.
