Yes. Things weren't welded in those days, you had metal plates and they were all connected by iron rivets, three million in this case.
The rivets in the titanic were made of iron.

Mostly steel. And since welding was new at the time it was held together by rivets made of iron and steel.
The rivets on the Titanic were made from a lower quality iron that became brittle upon impact with the iceberg. When the iceberg struck, the initial rivets buckled under the extreme stress, creating gaps in the ship's hull. This failure allowed water to flood adjacent compartments, leading to further buckling of surrounding rivets and a catastrophic chain reaction that compromised the ship's integrity. As more rivets failed, the flooding spread, ultimately leading to the Titanic's sinking.
25000 rivets were rotten on titanic
because they made the rivets out of poor quality iron and the hull was made out of crap steel
Many of the rivets were made with a large ratio of slag but they were originally above high-grade so, even diluted, they were still regulation-strength.
The plates of Titanic were connected with about three million rivets.
Titanic was designed by hulls and rivets.
i'm sure that it is rivets
