• At 1.45 p.m. from the Amerika : ‘Passed two large icebergs.’

Action taken: As this was a private message overheard by the wireless operators, it wasn’t sent to the bridge.

• At 7.30 p.m. from the Californian : ‘Three large bergs five miles to the southward of us.’

Action taken: Delivered to bridge, but Captain Smith did not know about it as he was in the à la carte restaurant.

• At 9.40 p.m. from the Mesaba : ‘Saw much heavy pack ice and great number large icebergs, also field ice, weather good, clear.’

Action taken: Never posted on the bridge, as wireless operator Jack Phillips was too busy sending passenger messages, and his assistant Harold Bride was taking a rest.
