Ruth Becker Blanchard
Ruth Elizabeth Becker Blanchard (28 October 1899 – 6 July 1990) was an American passenger aboard the ocean liner RMS Titanic during her maiden voyage. She survived the ship’s sinking at the age of twelve in Lifeboat 13, while her mother and younger siblings escaped in Lifeboat 11. She later became a schoolteacher and, following her retirement, shared her experiences as one of the disaster’s survivors.
