The Wreck of the Titan by Morgan Robertson
"The Wreck of the Titan" by Morgan Robertson is a novella first published in 1898. It tells the story of the Titan, a massive ocean liner considered unsinkable, and John Rowland, a disgraced former naval officer working as a deckhand. When the ship strikes an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sinks with insufficient lifeboats, only thirteen passengers survive. The novella became famous for its eerie similarities to the real RMS Titanic
disaster that occurred fourteen years after publication. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
