“The second novella — ”The Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility” by Morgan Robertson — boasted even more startling similarities to the sinking of the Titanic.

The story follows the fictional ocean liner Titan, which ultimately hits an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sinks. And the name and circumstances of the plot aren’t the only details that fit the real-life disaster — the History of the Net breaks down a number of striking connections between the real-life and fictional ships.”

Wow, that is incredibly uncanny! Thanks for sharing, Fred-Rick.
