Date 10-1-06 Rivets: Rivets are basically an extension of theories used for bolts. Solid rivets, used where percision and non-variability is important are often closed on their ends with a ship. Rivets are designed for specialized loading situations which require resistance to primarily shear types of loads. The Fitzgerald was built by Great Lakes Engineering Works as Hull 301 at its yard in River Rouge, Michigan on the Detroit River. The vessel was launched on June 7, 1958.
