In a caption at the bottom, Captain W F Wood identifies the iceberg as the "blueberg" — an iceberg made blue by the sun's rays — that sank the Titanic in three hours.
Experts believe it's the same iceberg because it was photographed in the right area and matches descriptions and sketches from that time.
