Based on the passage, why don’t the on-duty lookouts realize right away that Titanic has hit an iceberg?

"For the next 36 seconds Fleet and Lee stood quietly side by side, watching the ice draw nearer. Now they were almost on top of it, and still the ship didn't turn. The berg towered wet and glistening far above the forecastle deck, and both men braced themselves for a crash. Then, miraculously, the bow began to swing to port. At the last second the stern shot into the clear, and the ice glided swiftly by along the starboard side. It looked to Fleet like a very close shave.
