In the Titanic’s wireless room, Harold Bride hears the Californian send a message to another Leyland Line ship, the Antillian. It’s the same message sent to him 20 minutes ago: ‘Three large bergs five miles to southward of us, regards, Lord.’ This time Bride jots it down and taps out a message to the Californian, thanking them. He then heads off to the bridge to give it to the officer of the watch, Charles Lightoller.
