∙ 11y agoIn the past, boats always had someone who had to look around in order to see that everything is allright. This people are usually seen in pirate ships, where they use a telescope. Ok, in these ships, such as the titanic, there were 2 people looking around, one in the front, one behind. They only had binoculars too look farther. However, the crashing day there was fog, so the human sight was better rather than the binoculars. One of those who look around, actually the one who was in the front, saw it first. He shouted the captain to drive away, but there was not enough time.

Who saw the iceberg that hit the titanic?
The lookout in the fore mast. He only saw it when it couldn't be avoided anymore: vision was poor and deceptive, the iceberg was low in the water and because the sea was very calm, there was no tell-tale "surf" noise of waves hitting the iceberg that would have given him earlier warning.
