I too have accumulated many pieces of paper about my time on ships and looking through them recently wondered why I kept them and would anyone be interested in them. As an example, the DEMS certificates and the old testimonials required from Master for your certificates stating you were sober and reliable. Old pay slips showing how much you earned and the deductions etc (for postage!). Guess when I go they will be relegated to the garbage bin. My sextant has been given to my eldest grandson and the coins I collected over the ages to my other grandson. Many of these from countries no longer in existence and some when under colonial rule. Maybe some will be valuable one day !!!
