When it comes to eyewitnesses, yes, even the rescue captain said the sinking ship was surrounded by a giant field of icebergs. Survivors also said there was about a dozen iceberg alerts that day.

Given all that, the past hundred years of using that common shipping lane daily.. It should be replete with iceberg crashes and stories of near misses. If we believe the eye witnesses, Southampton to NY is a giant minefield of icebergs, even in April.

So eyewitnesses, including the rescue Captain destroy the narrative of a freak occurrence of a rare iceberg at the wrong latitude.

The website regarding the icebergs says some years are heavier than others and some years hardly any enter the shipping lanes. It also speaks of the bergs making more of their appearances ‘through-out the spring(ie….April to Early summer Icebergs can(but not always) go as far south at the NY latitudes in April but usually only in the LONGITUDEs from Greenland, and the Labrador corridor westward from Spring to early summer.

NYC position...:40.7128° N, 74.0060° W

Ttannic position:41.726931° N and 49.948253° W.

Icebergs will occaisionally float that far south at that longitude in the Spring to Early summer months. 47-49 degrees west longitude is right in the middle of the corridor between Greenland and Labrador where the cold Labrador current flows...so it is quite possible ice bergs could have floated that far south into the shipping lanes...especially at those longitudes. 1912 was considered to have been a milder winter in that part of the Atlantic by some accounts and many ice bergs had been released from Greenland and parts north because of it.

Of course since Miles views that many sinister interests may have altered the records of the time to cover up the real reason of the Titannic’s sinking(if it even had sunk or even existed at all....along the same vein that Manson was never really in prison/per Miles ) then one has to decide if the records we have are truly accurate or if we have all been massively hoodwinked and our means of perception shaped by insidious forces from all our births!
