The top of the Key enclosed within a polished circular jacket engraved “109” on both sides, signed Tiffany on the pendant loop. With fitted case stamped Tiffany & Co., New York. This key was given to president Kennedy by Peter Tare, an organization of people who served on PT boats. Lieutenant John F. Kennedy became a training instructor at the Melville Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Training Center, Rhode Island on December 3, 1942. By the following August, Kennedy found himself in command of the PT 109, playing a small part in the sweeping counteraction that was to drive Japanese forces back from the area. According to an account written by John Hersey not long after the incident, the PT 109 was working one night forty miles from the Rendova and disaster struck. ‘This is how it feels to be killed’…” Heresy’s detailed report of the events of the next few days makes harrowing reading. Awakening next morning they were surprised to find themselves surrounded by natives, one of whom handed over a letter which proved to be from the commander of a New Zealand infantry patrol operating nearby. Within hours, Kennedy, Ross and the other PT 109 survivors were with friendly forces and soon to be taken to the naval hospital at Tulagi.
