Cecil Fitzpatrick saw Smith and Andrews talking, but didn't eavesdrop on them and so we don't know exactly what they said, as they both died in the sinking.
Thomas Andrews went to look for him there and they had a little conversation. 2:10 A.M., when Steward Edward Brown saw Captain Smith walk onto the bridge, alone at this time. Once the order was given to abandon ship, the bridge remained almost completely empty. "Do you think the ship is seriously damaged?" "I'm afraid she is." "We have struck ice", the old man explained. "An iceberg, sir."īruce Ismay also arrived on the bridge and asked Smith what happened. Boxhall arrived on the bridge from the Boat Deck, while Captain Smith came from his quarters. Murdoch went to the wheelhouse to close the watertight doors. In the wheelhouse, Sixth Officer Moody picked up the phone asking "What did you see?" Fleet responded "Iceberg, right ahead!" Moody replied "Thank you" and hung up, passing the information on to First Officer Murdoch, who commanded 'hard-a-starboard', planning to eventually port around the berg, but it was too close. Immediately following the ringing of the bell, lookout Frederick Fleet picked up the Crow's Nest telephone and called the bridge. When the iceberg was sighted by the lookouts, they rang the warning bell three times, signaling to the bridge that there was danger ahead.
The Officer's Quarters and wheelhouse were located directly aft of the bridge. The bridge was located on the forward-most part of the Boat Deck. The Bridge was the area from which the RMS Titanic was commanded, housing the ship's steering gear, engine-order telegraphs and other essential mechanics to maintain the ships speed and heading.
