Barbara Joyce West Dainton (born May 24, 1911) was born in Bournemouth, Dorset, England and was 10 months and 22 days old when the Titanic sank. She is one of only two survivors of the disaster who are still living today.

The West family boarded the Titanic at Southampton as second-class passengers, en route to Gainesville, Florida. Barbara, her pregnant mother and older sister Constance escaped on one of the lifeboats (possibly number 10). Barbara's father, Edwy Arthur West, died in the sinking. A younger sister was born after the disaster, but nothing is known about her, save that she died at an early age from cancer. [1] Barbara married William Ernest B. Dainton in 1952 and currently lives in Truro, England.[1] She is 95 years old. She is reportedly in good health, but does not talk about the disaster, saying that she wants "nothing to do with the Titanic people." [2]
