Typically it's easy to see icebergs, which was part of Titanic's undoing.

Normally, rough water sloshed up against the berg, causing a visual contrast and spray, but there were no waves that night. There was a stoker who had been to sea for twenty-six years and had never seen it so calm and flat as that night. It was like being On a Sea of Glass.
