Description: (Sailor)
Frederick Fleet, a British sailor and crewman, gained fame as a lookout on the RMS Titanic. He was on duty when the ship hit an iceberg, being the first to spot it and alert the bridge. Fleet, along with fellow lookout Reginald Lee, survived the Titanic sinking. Fleet later testified that having binoculars could have helped them spot the iceberg earlier and potentially prevent the disaster. His professional life was defined by his service on the Titanic and his participation in the investigations following the tragedy.
