Warned by The Mesaba

 Captain Smith had been warned by several ships that there were icebergs on their course, but the first warning came from the Atlantic transport liner Mesaba, who at the time was about 90 miles away when they transmitted their message to Titanic.  The response was a very terse "thanks," so the Mesaba kept on its course.
