• Overview of a sectioned hull rivet (large 264K) (small 50 K)
• Micrograph of rivet in center (large 165K) (small 50K)
• Micrograph of rivet at the end where head is missing (large 165K) (small 33K)
• Montage of micrographs covering entire rivet(large 264K) (small 50K)
• Image of damage to Olympic due to collision with the Hawke (83K)
• Image of Tim Foecke from the New York Times (1-27-98) Science Section (33 K)
• I hope to be getting a section of the "Big Piece" (33 K) for further study in August 1998. Stay Tuned!
• NEW IMAGES of bent hull steel providing another nail in the coffin of the brittle hull plate theory, and of a new bulkhead section (one of two) for me to section, particularly the unfailed rivets. Stay Tuned.
• NEW IMAGES of wrought iron from the SV Waivertree (which is really crummy), of a comparison between the microstructure of Titanic's rivets and those from The Farmer's Bank Building in Pittsburgh and the Queen Mary. The latter is made of 2% Cr rivet steel, not wrought iron.
