Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee were the lookouts on the RMS Titanic when the ship struck the iceberg. There were others, whose names I do not know. The lookouts were not given any binoculars, (because the ships officers did not have any binoculars to give to the lookouts), so the lookouts had to rely on their eyesight alone to spot icebergs. The ship hit the berg at night and should have had a searchlight to help them see into the darkness. The lookouts did their best, but, without binoculars, no moon, no searchlight, a calm sea and no waves hitting the iceberg to make it easier to see, they were unable to see the iceberg in time to avoid a collision.
