Last warning to the TitanicFactor: Also the last ice warning from the ship ''California'' is not passed to the bridge - the captain goes sleeping...
A cargo steamer named "California" is in the same ice-field. The local captain thinks the situation is much too dangerous to drive on in the night. The "California" stops and is reporting this to the Titanic. But also in this case the radio operator does not pass the message to the bridge. He is overloaded by private telegrams and cursing to the "California" radio operator not to desturb his work. After one hour trials to take contact the "California" crew goes sleeping without having reached the Titanic crew. Also the captain of the Titanic, captain Smith, is going to sleep... The sinking of the Titanic commented by Michael Palomino. The Compare to our current situation by Roland Mösl.
