#1 On the night of the Titanic’s maiden voyage, lookout Frederick Fleet saw an iceberg directly ahead. He banged the crow’s-nest bell three times, warning of danger ahead, but the ship didn’t turn.

#2 The passengers in their cabins felt the jar. Some felt it was like a heavy wave striking the ship, while others thought it was nothing at all.

#3 Some of the passengers knew the answer already. Mr and Mrs George A. Harder, a young honeymoon couple, were still awake when they heard a dull thump. They felt the ship quiver and there was a scraping noise along the ship’s side.

#4 The excitement soon wore off. The Titanic seemed as solid as ever, and it was too bitterly cold to stay outside any longer. Slowly, the group filed back.
