The Novella That Predicted The Fate of The Titanic
In 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novella called “Futility,” which seems to predate the events of the Titanic’s tragedy. The novella tells the story of an “unsinkable” ship that tragically sinks after colliding with an iceberg, just like the Titanic did fourteen years later. What’s even more eerie is that the fictional ship in the book was named Titan, with the subtitle, “The Wreck of the Titan.” However, there was one major difference: almost all of the passengers on the Titan perished, with only 13 survivors, while over 700 of the Titanic’s 2,200 passengers were rescued.
