Absolutely Incredible

One of the best Rich. Thought I was going to have a heart attack listening to these tales. A scary combination of tremendous fear and bravery. I learned more about metallurgy than I ever imagined. Dumb question but how does one remove the element of sulpher from the mix or is it just inherent and must be managed through the addition of manganese? Also, did ship builders at the time not fully understand the kinds of steel necessary to create a safe and sturdy weld? That one really threw me.
