the lookout in the crows nest rang the bell 3 times & called the bridge. his exact words were "iceberg right ahead"
The lookouts on Titanic saw the iceberg, but not until it was too late to maneuver clear of it. There was no moon, and the sea was calm, so there was no wave action at the base of the berg (which might have made it easier to spot).
Proberbly Fredrich Fleet, the lookout on duty. He rang the bell three times and alerted the bridge.
Titanic's iceberg was first spotted by lookout Frederick Fleet and shortly thereafter by First Officer Murdoch.
On page 2 of Walter Lord's book "A Night to Remember" it states that it was almost 11:40 p.m. when one of the lookouts, Frederick Fleet, saw something that he thought was about the size of two tables put together.
About 37 people aboard the Titanic saw the movie
Titanic was not close to any land. She was under 400 miles from the nearest land, Newfoundland, and about 963 miles from her destination, New York City.
the person who saw it whta happened froma distance
The lookout in the forward mast of the Titanic.
Yes and no. Yes: they would have seen the Titanic sooner and therefore have alarmed the bridge sooner, thous, missing the iceburg. No: If the lookout saw the iceberg at the same time that they did, but the bridge kept the Tianic at full speed, they would have miss the iceberg. Why? Because the faster a ship is going, the faster and harder it can turn.
No, but some were on a ship which left port the day before. Mr. Lefebure did try to book passage on the Titanic, but when he couldn't, he sailed on the ship which was carrying his horses. While passing the iceburg (of course not knowing what was about to happen), he took a photo. One of my great-great aunts married a Lefebure, and I saw the iceberg photo at a family reunion.
Frederick Fleet, the lookout who saw the iceberg and was saved on lifeboat #6, survived Titanic but he couldn't survive himself. Decades later, in 1965, after his wife died, he went behind his barn and he hanged himself.
Yes, Frederick Fleet the lookout saw the iceberg before the collision but with less than forty seconds, it was too late. The berg was not visible to anybody in the deckhouse, including the sailor who had his hand on the wheel at the time.
