What did the captain of the Titanic do after he received the first message about icebergs ahead?

When Captain Smith received the first iceberg warning, he calmly tacked it onto a bulletin board for the other crew workers to see. When the actual iceberg came directly in front of the ship, they tried to turn the ship and they almost missed it but the iceberg hit the ship from underwater.

How are icebergs detected by ships?
they are detected by other ships, and then a message is passed onto other ships so the ships know to look out for iceburgs

Didn't someone working on the Titanic forget to show the captain the message about icebergs?
Yes, the wireless at that time, Phillips, received 2 signals calling for the Titanic to turn back. He was very busy that day because the wireless had broken down the other day and he had a TON of messages to send to the passengers' friends and families. On the first signal, he wrote it down and set it aside. On the second one, he replied, "Shut up, shut up, I am busy" Captian Smith never received the message

What was the name of the captain on the Titanic and what did he do the night the Titanic hit an iceberg?
The name of the Captain was Captain Smith. On that night, he got many warnings about the ice locations and how to avoid them. He ignored them all, and told the last ship that sent an ice message to shut up. If he listened to all these ships, there was a very high possibility that he wouldn't of hit the iceberg. Hope this answers your question!
What day did the titanic start getting wireless messeges about the icebergs?
I believe it was the same day that the ship sunk: April 14, 1912. Most of the messages were ignored however. The last messages were not even heard by Titanic because its operator turned up the transmitter, drowning out the ship. Only one message even made it to the Captain much earlier that afternoon.Radio was not seen as useful to a captain before titanic's sinking. Once at sea, a Captain relied upon his own crew exclusively. Messages from other ships were deemed a courtesy, based on information that the radio operator heard from conversation. It was more for the amusement of the radio-heads than for maritime safety. This was because it was not a service requested by either Captain.The radio operators aboard the Titanic were not employed by White Star Line. They were a employed by a telegraph service, the Marconi Company.
