Feb. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- The 401 Rivet is an exact reproduction of the rivets used to fasten the Titanic‘s massive hull plates to her frames, precise in every dimension and characteristic. The401 Rivet is 3 3/4″ long, with a shank diameter of 1″ and head diameter of 1 3/4″. Each one weighs just over 1 pound. Every effort has been made to ensure that these rivets are as accurate as possible: the dimensions were provided by Harland and Wolff, confirmed by Mark Chinrside, who is recognized world-wide as one of today’s premier authorities on the engineering of the Olympic-class ships; the metal composition was determined by a metallurgical analysis done in 1998 on rivets recovered from the wreck of the Titanic–the metal itself is AISI 1018 iron.

Now you have the opportunity to own a 401 Rivet.

The Premium Set includes the 401 Rivet with RMS Titanic No.401 stamped on the end of the rivet, plus a hand-finished solid mahogany display stand bearing a brass plaque along with the legend “RMS Titanic No. 401″ and an illustrated leaflet describing the history of rivets used in building steamships, in particular the Olympic-class ships, as well as detailed information of the process by which the 401 Rivet is made.

“As close as you will ever get to holding a piece of the Titanic in your hand….”
