Titanic survivor's locker keys surface, set for auction


A pair of locker keys that belonged to the last surviving member of Titanic’s crew will be auctioned in the U.K. on Saturday. The keys belonged to Sidney Daniels, a third class steward and member of the doomed liner’s victualing crew. “These keys are exceptional as they are the only known examples belonging to concurrent lockers.”Each key has a matching brass tag stamped locker 41 F Deck and locker 42 F Deck on a single ring. He was eventually taken on board the rescue ship Carpathia, according to Encyclopedia Titanica. Three photos and a handwritten note detailing the grisly discovery of Titanic’s last lifeboat were sold for $6,800.
