Lost Photos of the Titanic and The Stories Behind Them

The Iceberg Itself

This is the iceberg that sunk the Titanic. The day after it sank, a steward on another ship took a photo of the iceberg. The black mark on the side showcases where the Titanic made impact. 

Lookout Frederick Fleet

The iceberg was first spotted by Frederick Fleet a minute before the Titanic hit it. Fleet immediately went to relay the message. By the time it reached the officers at the bridge, they had about 30 seconds until impact. Fleet survived the night but sadly committed suicide in 1965.
