The Wreck of the Titan



Fourteen years before the Titanic was built, Morgan Robertson wrote a novel, “The Wreck of The Titan” about a similar tragedy. The Titan and Titanic were both triple screwed British liners, both held 3000 passengers, and both had top speeds of 20 knots. Both were called unsinkable and had too few lifeboats. Both sank in the North Atlantic in April after colliding with an iceberg on the starboard side.
