The strike below the water line shook things up on that side of the berg.

Another possibility I've heard was that while there might have been a "spur"
or some such below water, it's also possible that there were similar
structures above the water and these struck parts of the ship as well.

There were also at least one report of someone having ice come in their open
port hole.

By the way, starting a message in the subject line, and continuing in the
message is bad form. Depending on the reader one is using you might not see
the subject line while reading the message, and often long subject lines are
truncated in the list of messages. This might have been better with the
subject something like "Source of ice?" then your 'If the part..." in the
actual body of the message.
