Nails were not used to build the ship. It was made of steel. Rivets are used in steel.
steelThe 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 steelTitanic was built of iron, steel, and too much wood to pass today's fire codes.
because the iceberg made a whole which let loads of water in, bringing the titanic down
the titanic was made out of plastic and wood , in the late 20th century.
The upper decks which make up the superstructure of Titanic are made with 1/4" steel. The hull itself is an inch thick.

Titanic was built in Belfast, Ireland, in the dockyards of Harland & Wolff. She was made of iron, steel, and too much wood to pass today's safety codes.
All of Titanic was over 46,000 tons. Probably most of that would have been the steel.

No. It was made of iron and steel like other ships of that era.
Mostly steel. And since welding was new at the time it was held together by rivets made of iron and steel.
