One of the last remaining survivors of the Titanic will finally cross the Atlantic by boat - 85 years after the infamous ocean liner struck an iceberg and sank.
Millvina Dean was just nine weeks old when the Titanic - then the world's biggest liner - went down on April 12, 1912, on its way from the southern English port of Southampton to New York.Fifteen hundred people were killed, including Dean's father.
About 700 crew members and passengers escaped on lifeboats as the vessel broke up and sank 560 miles off Newfoundland.
Dean, who was traveling with her parents and brother to start a new life in the United States, survived after being put into a sack and handed to a sailor who got her on board lifeboat No. 13.
She plans to sail across the Atlantic on the QE2 luxury liner this year.
"I have never been on a big liner (as an adult). I love the sea," Dean said Sunday, shortly after she visited a Titanic exhibition in the central English town of Dudley.
