Steve Santini owns three pieces of lifebelt which are framed together. It is not known if all three pieces came from the same lifebelt or from more than one. The frame shows a lifebelt strap, a piece of cork and a hand-sewn piece of canvas from one of the cork pockets.

They were all kept as a reminder by a Mackay-Bennett crew member and found their way into collectors' hands via the Halifax antique trade.

trade.

In his collection Steve Santini also has two cork blocks from another lifebelt. One is currently on display in the Children’s Gallery in the Branson Titanic museum. Originally, it was given to the master of a French – Canadian cable ship, Captain Julien Lemarteleur, who assumed Mackay-Bennett's cable repair duties so that the ship could search for Titanic’s victims. In appreciation, he was gifted both a Titanic deck chair and the cork block of a lifebelt by a crew member, likely the captain, of Mackay-Bennett. It was passed down to his housekeeper and beneficiary Margarite Pennington and later found its way into Steve Santini’s collection. The second came into his possession via the Nova Scotia antiques trade and was acquired when he operated the Museum of the Titanic in Portage La Praire, Manitoba. Like others, this block was also recovered by the crew of the Mackay-Bennett.
