Mr Corrigan's visit was on behalf of Nomadic Charitable Trust, the group set up to fundraise for and oversee the restoration of SS Nomadic, Titanic's tender ship. It was arranged after the Trust successfully bid for a letter of Miss Dean's at auction last year when she was selling personal items to help cover the cost of her nursing home fees.
Dated February 24, 1913, the letter from the Titanic Relief Fund, informed Mrs E. G. Dean, Millvina's mother, that she would be awarded an allowance of £1-7s-6p per week for her two children.
Accompanied by Una Reilly of the Belfast Titanic Society, a personal friend of Millvina's, Ronan visited Miss Dean in her Southampton nursing home to record her story on Thursday, January 29.
"It was a pleasure to meet Miss Dean," said Ronan. "She is a remarkable lady and we're very grateful to her for sharing her family's story and giving us the opportunity to visit her in person.
"Although Millvina didn't travel on Nomadic in order to board Titanic, she later dined on her when she was a floating restaurant on the River Seine. In 1996 she actually visited Belfast and is very supportive of the restoration project we're undertaking.
"The Trust will now create an exhibit of the letter onboard Nomadic, along with Millvina's memories, preserving her story and creating a lasting legacy to Titanic survivors," he added.
Millvina, who celebrated her 97th birthday on February 2, was only two months old when Titanic sank as she was travelling with her family to start a new life in Kansas. She was rescued from a lifeboat by Carpathia, along with her mother Ettie and brother, Bertram Jnr. Tragically, her father drowned in the disaster.
The Trust now plans to display the letter onboard SS Nomadic when she re-opens as a visitor attraction. However, the public will be able to view it for the first time at the 'Titanic: Designed and Built in Belfast' exhibition at W5 from March 14 to April 19.
