A telegraph message from a ship called Olympic reports that it has received word from the Titanic that it has stuck an iceberg. The message is one of several similar messages from ships in the vicinity of the Titanic detailing the events leading up to it's sinking which were on display 13 February at Christie's East in New York City and will be auctioned as part of a Maritime auction on 17 February.
