steel
The Titanic was (or is) largely constructed of steel, particularly the hull and all the internal bulkheads and decks. Her machinery spaces were filled with steel machinery (like boilers and the steam engines and shafts). She also had tons of wood, glass, fabrics and other materials used in her construction, particularly in the finish of the ship. The three screws (what some folks not familiar with things might call propellers) were fabricated of many, many tons of bronze.
The bulk of Titanic is steel, which, as you know, is an alloy of iron and something on the order of about 1% carbon. Certainly a wide variety of construction materials were also used, but the hull and major structural elements were all steel. The massive screws (some call them propellers) were bronze, just to cite one example of "other" material used in construction.
The hull of the titanic was made out of steel
Titanic was built of iron, steel, and too much wood to pass today's fire codes.
