Hi, the question I offer was welding in general marine construction used in 1910, somehow I think it was rivetted, as a lot of those old small shipyards were old traditional yards, with traditional trained work force. So look for a yard which did your favourite hull and research them such as the one in your lower photo, looks a nice vessel. But what ever way you go if it is like some of your past models I have seen on this site am sure it will be a brahma.
