Asplund Lillian (b. 1906-10-21 / d. 2006-05-06)
Lillian Gertrud Asplund was the last American survivor of the Titanic disaster. She was thought to be the last Titanic survivor with actual memories of the sinking, as the remaining survivors were less than one year old at the time. A passenger in third class, she escaped from the sinking ship on lifeboat 15, with her mother Selma and younger brother Felix.
Following her death, only two of the 712 Titanic survivors are still alive, both of whom live in England.
Selma, who lost three sons and her husband in the sinking of the White Star Liner in 1912, told her daughter it was wrong to talk about the disaster, and accordingly Lillian never publicly spoke about her memories.
