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.

What occupation men first saw iceberg titanic?

Who saw the iceburg on the Titanic first?
Titanic's iceberg was first spotted by lookout Frederick Fleet and shortly thereafter by First Officer Murdoch.
Why did Titanic hit the iceberg sideways?
the titanic captin saw the iceberg and steered it to the right....but not enough to miss it.... so it gorged a large tear right across it.
How fast was the titanic traveling up until the time sailors saw the iceberg?
24 knots was the speed in which they were traveling when the sailors saw the ice burg
Why did the crew on the titanic see the iceberg?
The crew on Titanic were stationed up in a "crows-nest" but they never precisely saw the iceberg. They only saw a black mass that was blocking the stars. Officer Murdoch, on the bridge deck, was in a better position because, being lower down, he would have had more stars being obscured.
