My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

I had almost forgotten about this.My grandfather served as the ship's surgeon on the SS President Roosevelt, and during a storm they got a distress call from the SS Antinoe. Grandpa was instrumental in helping rescue the men from the Antinoe, and the survivors were so grateful that they gave him a medal which currently sits in a dresser drawer in my bedroom with my other family heirlooms, and a copy of the story he sold to the papers. (I think it was the NY Times, but not sure.)
A quick Google search turned up a wreck report here. It's rather dry reading, but gives the essential facts.
