My great-grandfather, James Carnaghan, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
was a cabinet maker on the Titanic | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
and his tools were in a box in my granny's shed. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
When I was 11, I brought the box into school to show my teacher, Mrs Murphy. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
Look at how cute that one is. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
It hadn't been opened in years and I'll never forget the moment we lifted this lid. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
And then great big things... | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
There was a whole range of tools found, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
like files, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
chisels, planes. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
It was very important to have had your name on every tool. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
And he took pride in his work. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
I want you to see this, because this is what he got over 100 years ago. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
A trade, in those days, wasn't just a job, it defined you as a person. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:50 | |
It definitely would have been very, very exciting for him, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
being one of the men to have built THE biggest ship in the world. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 |
