The Californian

The nearby Californian radios the Titanic at 2250: “Say, old man, we are stopped and surrounded by ice." An annoyed Phillips (handling passengers messages) responds: “Shut up! Shut up! I am busy. I am working Cape Race." (A wireless station is located at Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada.)

By 2300 most of the Titanic's passengers have retired to their rooms for the evening.

At 2335 the wireless operator on the Californian turns off his radio.
Fleet sees an iceberg in the Titanic's path and rings the bell three times to indicate that something is ahead. He then calls the bridge. Murdoch orders the Titanic “hard-a-starboard" (to the left) and the engines reversed. He also closes the doors to the supposedly watertight compartments.
