titanic

In 1898, Morgan Robertson wrote a novel titled Futility, about a luxurious boat that sinks in its inaugural journey after crashing into an iceberg in the Atlantic. The boat was the biggest in the world, with a triple hull supposedly unsinkable. Its passengers were mainly aristocrats and there weren’t enough lifeboats for all. The ship’s name was Titan. The Titanic sank 14 years after the book was published.
