There have been entire chapters and perhaps entire books written about Titanic's lookouts and the iceberg. Author Tim Maltin had proposed a "refraction" theory with devastating success.

One of the many reasons, however, is that when water is rough, as it usually is, water sloshes against the base of an iceberg, making it visible. However, on the night of the sinking there were no waves and nothing to see (and no moonlight with which to see them).

Who was on the look out for the iceberg the bday of titanic sank?

On the night the Titanic sank, lookout duty was performed by Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee. They were stationed in the crow's nest and were responsible for spotting any potential obstacles, including icebergs. Despite their vigilance, they did not see the iceberg until it was too late to avoid a collision. Fleet famously reported the iceberg sighting to the bridge just moments before the disaster occurred.
