I found the Titanic page 5 by ric gustafson
My name is Robert D Ballard. I found Titanic
On Sunday April 14 1912, passengers were relaxing on deck chairs. Some passengers were reading or taking naps. Some passengers played cards or wrote letters. Because it was Sunday, church services were held in the morning. Captain Smith led the first class service.
Two more ice warnings were received around lunch time. Harold Bride only had time to deliver one to the bridge. Until the late afternoon, things were quiet. In the late afternoon, the temperature dropped rapidly. When a bugle call announced dinner, it was beginning to get dark out.
At 7:30 pm, the radio room received three new ice warnings. One was from a steamer called ' Californian'. It reported three large icebergs. Phillips and Bride were tired. They had received seven ice warnings in one day. The last ice warning was from the ' Californian'. It had to stop for the night because it was trapped in a field of ice. It was 19 miles north of Titanic.
