It's a very special key.	0:32:07	0:32:09
And to think that it actually opened doors on board Titanic...	0:32:09	0:32:12
Samuel Hemming had been a seaman since he was 15.	0:32:14	0:32:18
He was in charge of trimming the lamps on board the ship.	0:32:18	0:32:23
As Titanic was going down,	0:32:23	0:32:25
he got out of bed and put on his coat,	0:32:25	0:32:27
which had all of these keys in the pockets.	0:32:27	0:32:30
Captain Smith asked him to go	0:32:32	0:32:33
and ensure there was lights on all of the lifeboats.	0:32:33	0:32:39
He stayed at his post until the very end, and when he realised,	0:32:39	0:32:43
finally, that there was no hope,	0:32:43	0:32:45
he climbed down the side of the ship	0:32:45	0:32:47
and swam to lifeboat number four and was hauled in there.	0:32:47	0:32:52
And that's what saved his life.	0:32:52	0:32:54
