Best Answer

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.

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.


Who saw the iceburg that the Titanic hit?

The lookouts on Titanic saw the iceberg, but not until it was too late to maneuver clear of it. There was no moon, and the sea was calm, so there was no wave action at the base of the berg (which might have made it easier to spot).
