@roibaird.There is evidence that the rivets used to hold the metal plates had to much slag in them.They were of poor quality.They did tests on some of the rivets brought to the surface.
Commemoration may be questionable, however the awareness and change that happened after this disaster to this point made sure that another tragedy of this magnitude would hopefully never happen again. Radio telegraphy procedures, watch standing of radio officers, Auto alarms that would wake all radio officers(twelve 4second dashes with a 1 second interval)all over the ocean, International ice patrols by Canadian and America forces plotting bergs. Changes in watertight compartment construction, and putting more decision making in the hands of ship operating personel rather than shoreside! There are some great photos by the joint French /American team that found the Titantic while working from their ship the R/V Knorr .
IrelandNorth Where was the evidence published that "bad metal" was used on the Titanic?
Has Cobh Urban District Council (UDC) provided for flood damage insurance in the event of an uncharacteristic Corkonian Tsunami. Will they be drinking Scotch on the rocks. Or will they be rearranging the d[o]ckchairs in the harbour. Will they be playing T[eu]t[o]nic music, etc.
The only commemoration should be for the investigation and prosecution of the shipyard for using bad metal. Why commemorate an event that killed all of its 3rd class passengers (Irish) because they weren't let out or provided lifeboats?
