Hosono soon found himself the target of public condemnation. He was described as a "stowaway" aboard lifeboat 10 by Archibald Gracie, who wrote a best-selling account of the disaster.

In the late 1990s, the Hosono family released the letter to the media in the wake of James Cameron's Titanic.

Fairly uneventful really. The weather is fine and the sea is calm. But the temperature is getting colder, Titanic receives several wireless messages from other ships reporting ice.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions I receive from cheese lovers. And, for the most part, eating sweaty cheese is safe. However, you will not be able to enjoy the cheese at its best in terms of texture and flavor. And the cheese will most likely not look its best on your cheese board.

The Agreement Concerning the Shipwrecked Vessel RMS Titanic is a treaty open to all states regarding the protection of the shipwreck of the RMS Titanic. Following the passage of the RMS Titanic Maritime Memorial Act in 1986, the United States began negotiations in 1997 with the United Kingdom, France, and Canada toward an agreement to protect the wreck. The agreement was signed by the UK in 2003 and by the US in 2004. It was not until 2019 that the US ratified the agreement, bringing it into effect on 18 November, the day of deposit of the instrument of ratification.

April 14, 1912

Morning
Capt. Edward J. Smith cancels a scheduled lifeboat drill.

5:50 PM
After receiving iceberg warnings throughout the day, Captain Smith changes the Titanic's course, heading slightly south. However, the ship's speed is not lowered.

9:40 PM
The Mesaba sends a warning to the Titanic about an ice field that includes “heavy pack ice and [a] great number [of] large icebergs.” Wireless operator Jack Phillips—who works for the Marconi Company—is handling passengers' messages and never passes the warning on to the Titanic's bridge.

10:00 PM
The shift changes on the bridge, with First Officer William Murdoch relieving Second Officer Charles Lightoller as the officer of the watch.
Lookouts Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee begin their watch in the Titanic's crow's nest. The night is unusually calm, making icebergs more difficult to see—because there are no waves breaking at the icebergs. Adding to the difficulties is the fact that the crow’s nest's binoculars have been misplaced.

10:55 PM
The nearby Californian radios the Titanic: “Say, old man, we are stopped and surrounded by ice.” An annoyed Phillips responds: “Shut up! Shut up! I am busy. I am working Cape Race.” (A wireless station is located at Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada.)

11:00 PM
Most of the Titanic's passengers have retired to their rooms for the evening.

11:35 PM
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.

11:40 PM
The starboard side of the Titanic scrapes along the iceberg.
Captain Smith arrives on deck and is told that the ship has struck an iceberg. Shortly thereafter he is informed that the mail room is filling with water. Other reports soon come in of water in at least five of the ship's compartments.
Designer Thomas Andrews surveys the damage. The Titanic was built to remain afloat with only four compartments flooded. Andrews predicts that the ship has only about one to two hours before sinking.

While the ship could reportedly stay afloat if as many as 4 of its 16 compartments were breached, the impact had affected at least 5 compartments.

Titanic’s 24-year old look-out man Frederick Fleet, through a slight haze, spotted what he later described as something ‘about the size of two tables’ lying directly in the vessel’s path. He immediately rang the ship’s crow’s nest bell three times and telephoned the Bridge and reported to Sixth Officer James P. Moody. The deck officer asked 'What do you see?', Fleet replied ‘Iceberg right ahead’ and Moody ended their short conversation with 'Thank you.'
