How Many Rivets In The Titanic?

The Titanic was assembled using some 3,000,000 hydraulically-driven rivets [7].

Did the Titanic have rivets?

The 46,000-ton Titanic was made of steel held together with some three million rivets. They secured both beams and plates. Each rivet was formed at a factory into a mushroom shape; it was heated at the work site to incandescent temperatures and then inserted into the aligned holes of plates and beams.
