What is the marking on the top rib, Titanic Steel or Vulcan Steel ? Depending on when it was sent back, either before 1897 where it couldn't have Titanic Steel and Vulcan Steel may have been the only lower priced fluid steel barrels available at the time. If the fluid steel barrels were fitted after 1897 it could have been Titanic but maybe the owner opted for the less expensive Vulcan barrels.
