<p>Yes, I recall Eva. Especially for:</p>
<p>"I saw that ship go down in one piece with my own eyes"</p>
<p>and also (after 1986 or so)</p>
<p>"I saw that ship break up with my own eyes". ;)</p>

<p>For a long time I think Eva Hart was the most famous (and accessible) Titanic survivor. As far as I know, Millvina Dean emerged in public and appeared at Titanic events later in life. </p>
<p>She had no memory of the sinking, obviously. I think that held her back from the upper echelon of public Titanic survivors until their numbers dwindled.</p>
<p>I also nearly missed out. She's the only one I got but I'm happy I did. </p>

<p>I was fortunate to get Millvina Dean a few times.</p>
<p>I even got her to sign a couple baseballs. At the time they were the first/only ones she had ever signed, but I have seen atleast one other since then.</p>

<p>Thank you. I wasted all the 1970's and never wrote. I never thought I'd get a survivor at the last minute in 2009. She was just 2 months old - youngest on and off. As far as Ballard it is hard to take him seriously - he says no salvage while sitting in front of greek amporae and so on. He also had a crazy idea to clean and repaint the wreck!</p>

<p>Thanks JK and Christopher. And now the prize! Today is 77 years since Hiroshima - another area of endeavor and a future book.</p>

<p>I also have a few letters from Ballard from that era.</p>
<p>In an early one he declined to take a position on the salvage issue, but in a later one he was more forthcoming with an opinion against commercializing the wreck.</p>
<p>Those 1980s letters are a slice of history as I don't think he has really responded in this way much if at all in recent years.</p>
