Sorry, it wasn't built in steel but iron plate and rivets.

Steel? Irish?



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.
