Detail of the starboard hull of Falls of Clyde, Pier 7, Honolulu Harbor. 9 August 2008.
Unlike the majority of modern ships which have hulls made of welded steel plates, the hull of Falls of Clyde is made of wrought iron plates held together with rivets. Rows of rivets can be seen in the strakes in the photo above.
