I've seen some old video footage of the supposed iceberg that hit the Titanic. Where's the picture?

Ok, I've heard about this "Titanic Iceberg" that had red paint on it. Here's what I found:
This is a scanned copy of the photographic print of the iceberg with which the RMS TITANIC supposedly collided on April 14, 1912 at latitude 41-46N, longitude 50-14W. This iceberg was photographed by the chief steward of the liner Prinze Adelbert on the morning of April 15, 1912, just a few miles south of where the Titanic went down. The steward hadn't yet heard about the Titanic. What caught his attention was the smear of red paint along the base of the berg, indication that it had collided with a ship sometime in the previous twelve hours. This photo and information was taken from "UNSINKABLE" The Full Story of RMS Titanic Written by Daniel Allen Butler, Stackpole Books 1998. Attached file:  berg_pic.jpg (14.73 KB) |

I've seen this picture before. Pretty amazing story.
It would be very hard to determine from a black and white photograph, but does anyone actually know what side of the berg hit the ship? Or can anyone take a guess at finding anything that could be red paint in that picture? Ken Marshall painted this painting with that berg in mind.  |

Does anyone remember the berg in James Cameron's movie, how it was much too big to be the real berg. I think it went over top deck in the film....exaggerated. I think it just went over the forward deck....I forget what it's called. My ship vocab got bad. lol.
