The first official sighting of the iceberg (actually only a black mass blotting out stars) was that of Frederick Fleet the lookout, altho, since Officer Murdoch was lower down, he would have had MORE stars blocked and perhaps would have seen it first. Unfortunately, he did not survive to comment on this.
