the crows nest,.
Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee were in the crows-nest at the moment of impact.
No, Captain Edward Smith had already gone to bed when the Titanic hit the Iceberg, the ship however had two lookouts stationed in it's crows nest. It was Fredrick Fleet, one of the lookouts in the crows nest, who first spotted the berg. He radioed the bridge as soon as he seen it.
the lookout in the crows nest rang the bell 3 times & called the bridge. his exact words were "iceberg right ahead"
Because an officer on the ship answered the call from the crows nest too late
The Titanic was big so the size worked against it which it did and the iceberg was right in front of it.
The crew on Titanic were stationed up in a "crows-nest" but they never precisely saw the iceberg. They only saw a black mass that was blocking the stars. Officer Murdoch, on the bridge deck, was in a better position because, being lower down, he would have had more stars being obscured.
What I hear happened was the Titanic had gotten massages about iceberg fields ahead but Capt. Smith still had the Titanic cruising along at maybe 24 knots, and it's highest was 25 knots. The men in the crows nest spotted the iceberg with only their eyes, and they rang the bell. The Titanic was turning and it seemed to not hit but it did. If the men in the crows nest had had binoculars, which were in a locked locker (because a crew member was put off the ship for another, and he by mistake took the key to the locker.) they could have spotted it quicker and therefore the Titanic would not have hit the iceberg which in fact was a blackberg.
radar wasnt invented in 1909 when the titanic was created in irelend. they did have 2 men patrolling the sea in the crows nest, but on the night of sinking, banoculars wernt on board so the men couldent see the iceberg until it was close.
