THE WRECK OF THE TITAN (A TITANIC PROPHECY?)
THE WRECK OF THE TITAN.....OR CALLED "FUTILITY". SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS BOOK IS A PROPHECY OF THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC.
Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan is a novel which was originally written and published in 1898 by Morgan Robertson. This novel is the story of an ocean liner, called the Titan, which sinks in the North Atlantic ocean after hitting an iceberg. There are many similarities between this novel and the facts in the sinking of the Titanic fourteen years later. Morgan Robertson revisited his work in 1912 after the sinking of the Titanic and made the ship larger as well as changing the ending of the story.
People have made a case over the prophetic aspects of this book, and it is true that there are some coincidences relating the fictional Titan to the real life Titanic. But a careful look at the time in which this was published originally in 1898 and reissued after the disaster in 1912 shows that Morgan Robertson's book was merely the result of well-researched fiction. Iceberg sinkings were not uncommon, and it was no stretch to envision the largest ship ever built and then add the plus value of dimensions, weight and propulsion. Fill the fictional ship with the rich and famous and - viola you have a book that mirrors an event that will happen based on the strides of technology and commerce. Robertson's fictional ship rode up over the iceberg and capsized, as opposed to the real ship, which was damaged in the collision sinking it.
