Rivets
The plates of Titanic were connected with about three million rivets.
Titanic was designed by hulls and rivets.
The main structure, the watertight compartments, and the 3 million rivets used
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.
The rivets that were used in the building of the Titanic was considered poor quality, and some were not installed properly.
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.
Nails were not used to build the ship. It was made of steel. Rivets are used in steel.
Mostly steel. And since welding was new at the time it was held together by rivets made of iron and steel.
