Who spotted the iceberg on the Titanic?

It could be said 2 people spotted it, as we will never know which saw it first. Frederick Fleet was the first of the two lookouts to spot the berg first, and he telephoned the bridge. By the time the sixth officer, who received the call, reported the sighting to the officer of the watch, first officer Murdoch, Murdoch had already seen the berg as well of his own accord as he was rushing into the wheelhouse with his orders of hard-a-starboard and full speed astern. As such, both the Murdoch and Fleet saw the iceberg at virtually the same time, though it is likely that Fleet saw it only seconds earlier than Murdoch.


Why are the lookouts to blame for the titanic?

The lookouts on the Titanic are not solely to blame for the ship's sinking. While it is true that they failed to spot the iceberg in time to avoid a collision, there were multiple factors that contributed to the disaster, including the captain's decision to maintain a high speed in icy waters, inadequate safety measures such as not providing enough lifeboats for all passengers, and a lack of clear communication between the crew members. Blaming the lookouts alone oversimplifies the complex series of events that led to the Titanic tragedy.

Who was the look-out on the Titanic?

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.


Did anybody see the iceberg on the Titanic?

One or both of the lookouts saw the iceberg before collision, and the pilot tried to steer away, but the forward speed of the Titanic took it into the iceberg anyway, smashing in the hull on the starboard (right) side near the bow.
