Yeah Steel rivits annealed and made in Belfast and applied to the hull
at Harland & Woff Shipyard in Belfast Ireland. Thats the place where
the Titanic was made BTW.

The steel hull plates where made by D. Colville & Co from Scotland.

Most experts think the rivits failed at the head loads, allowing seams
to rip open on the Titanics hull. Many think the same flawed riviting
might have doomed the HMS Hood.

MSV RedCloud
Still made of the finest British Steel & Monel money could buy.

Check out Scientific American (Oct 2003) article "Alchemy of a
Supermetal" A new process for wresting pure titanium from ore may
soon make the affordable titanium hull and other sailboat components a
reality.

If I remember my technical resources (some Tom Clancy novel), titanium
is very difficult to work with. Any money saved by lowering the price
of the raw material may well be eaten up by what companies will charge
to mess around with it at all.
