Description:  Photograph copyrighted by Nautical Research Group that shows the fallen mast as it lies across the bow of RMS Titanic. In this photo you can clearly see the outlet from the mast where the crow's nest resides and Frederick Fleet said the infamous word "Iceberg right ahead". Mr Fleet proceeded to ring the bell three times (you can see the bell stanchion in top right of photo) and then telephoned the bridge. The large void to the left of the mast is a cargo hold.
