First Rivet-Free Ship Launched On English Coast
A July launch on England's south coast showcased a vessel built without rivets using electric welding. Lord Pirrie witnessed the ceremony as the Inland Waterways and Dock Section of the Royal Engineers reported that riveted plates are joined by welding and heat, enabling faster production and a potential 20 to 25 percent savings in time and materials. The United States Shipping Board is pursuing scale production of 10 000 ton ships with riveters becoming welders.
