2 are still left...there are no more American survivors though!

This is from Wikipedia:

As of June 26, 2006 there are only two living survivors of the 706[1] (some say up to 712)[2] who survived the RMS Titanic disaster, in which it sank on April 15, 1912 after striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Lillian Gertrud Asplund, the last American survivor, died at the age of 99 on May 6, 2006 at her home in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. Asplund, who was just 5 years old at the time of the tragedy, lost her father and three brothers — including a fraternal twin; however, Asplund's mother, Selma, and another brother, Felix, who was 3, also survived the sinking.

Lillian Gertrud Asplund, the last survivor to have memories of the sinking (and last American survivor) died on May 6, 2006 in Massachusetts.

Barara Joyce West Dainton of England (ten months old at the time of the sinking) and Elizabeth Gladys "Millvina" Dean of England (two months old at the time of sinking) are still living but have no memories of the sinking.
