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.

Friedrich Fleet was the first person to see the iceberg. He was up on the post looking for danger; unfortunately, he spotted it too late.
