The Titanic weighed ABOUT 46,000 tons. A large portion of that weight was the steel of the vessel.
Nails were not used to build the ship. It was made of steel. Rivets are used in steel.
low quality steel!!!!
Steel is a solid solution of iron and carbon.

The upper decks which make up the superstructure of Titanic are made with 1/4" steel. The hull itself is an inch thick.

Over 24,000 Tons Of Steel Was Used, Almost 1500 Tons Of That Went Into Making The 3 Million Rivets.

The steel used in the construction of the RMS Titanic cost approximately £7,500, which was part of the total construction cost of around £1.5 million at the time. This steel was sourced primarily from the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, where Titanic was built. The overall expenditure on the ship included not just steel, but also labor, equipment, and design elements.
In March 1909 there was only the steel for the keel. Other materials weren't added until the hull was more complete.
There were multiple cranes used (one of which was floating) to build both the Titanic and Olympic. The Arrol Gantry was one you may be thinking of, which held multiple mobile cranes.
Americans used steel to build bridges and skscapers.
The material used to build the bridge was wood and steel
