	Morgan Robertson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nowadays he is best known for the short fictional novel Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan, first published in 1898.
		The similarities between the fictional sinking of the Titan and the real-life sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912 attract attention even today.
		Like The Wreck of the Titan, Beyond the Spectrum bore some striking similarities with the actual event, including a sneak attack by the Japanese (But on San Francisco, not Hawaii) and the United States winning with ultraviolet searchlight used to blind Japanese crews, which some readers have compared to the atomic bomb.

		Second, that if the Titan was the aggressor she would certainly destroy the other craft, even at half-speed, and perhaps damage her own bows; while at full speed, she would cut her in two with no more damage to herself than a paint-brush could remedy.
		So, it was confidently expected that when her engines had limbered themselves, the steamship Titan would land her passengers three thousand miles away with the promptitude and regularity of a railway train.

		For the fresh westerly wind, coming with the Titan, made nearly a calm on her deck; and the dense fog, though overshone by a bright star-specked sky, was so chilly that the last talkative passenger had fled to the light and life within.
		But in five seconds the bow of the Titan began to lift, and ahead, and on either hand, could be seen, through the fog, a field of ice, which arose in an incline to a hundred feet high in her track.
		There was no response, and when his voice had grown hoarse and futile, and his feet numb from the cold of the thawing ice, he returned to the wreckage, weighed down and all but crushed by the flest desolation that had, so far, come into his unhappy life.

	Encyclopedia Titanica Message Board: Morgan Robertson was dirt poor
		It was a story about the "Titan", the largest steamer in the world that was quite similar to the Titanic.
		In 1912 Futility was renamed Wreck of the Titan and remains to this day a source of great facination for many.
		I don't see much prophecy in 'The Wreck of the Titan,' just a bit of extrapolation on his part about the direction the shipbuilding industry was heading in (Dave Brown might disagree, since Robertson foretold Brown's grounding theory).

		There were actually two versions of Futility, the original 1898 story, and a slightly altered rewrite for the more common 1912 edition in which the title was upgraded to Futility, or The Wreck of the Titan.
		Many writers have compared the similarities between the fictional wreck and the real disaster, but Gardner is the first to go on and contrast the differences between the two events as well.
		The Titanic connection is particularly striking because Stead has the real White Star liner Majestic, under the command of none other than Captain E.J. Smith, rescuing the survivors from a liner lost in collision with an iceberg.

		This was the story of an "unsinkable" massive ocean liner, which like the Titanic, was on its maiden voyage from Britain to New York in the month of April, with 2,000 people on board.
		But most remarkable of all, the story of the Titanic has incredibly close parallels to the biblical plan of salvation.
		What she remembered the most about the discussions was the fact that the life boats were almost empty because the passengers believed that the ship could not sink and would not leave until it was too late to be saved!

		I fully expect the director's cut of "Titanic" to be coming out on DVD next, but in the interim there is "Ghosts of the Abyss" and this book, which provides more than 35 3-D images based on the film.
		The main perspective of the book is to provide a contrast between period photographs of the Titanic and recent underwater shots taken by Jake.
		The 3-D effects are okay; the head-on view of the Titanic's bow showing the prow and the rust-shrouded railings around the forecastle deck (page 23) is the only one that really got a reaction from me. The ones with the ghosts are also just okay.

		The Titanic, the largest ship afloat at the time of her maiden voyage was actually one of three sister ships.
		However, there is strong evidence that Titanic was being pushed in an effort to beat the maiden voyage crossing time of her older sister, the Olympic; survivor Elizabeth Lines overheard Bruce Ismay telling Captain Smith that Titanic would beat the Olympic's crossing time and arrive in New York ahead of schedule.
		Indeed, it is now known that Titanic's last three main boilers were connected up to her engines at 7:30 pm on April 14th, increasing the ship's speed to 22 1/2 knots just four hours before the collision took place.

		Robertson describes a ship that is the "largest craft afloat and the greatest works of men." It sets sail on it's maiden voyage in April, meeting its subsequent end through collision with an iceberg.

		However, when Rowland witnesses the Titan ramming and sinking a smaller ship during the night, he realizes he must stand for what is right.
		This is Rowland's time of to realize the futility of his former life, and to stand tall.
		Both the Titan and the Titanic were on their maiden voyages, both had watertight compartments (which made collision a smaller worry), both carried as few lifeboats as the law allowed, both sailed in April heading for New York, both struck icebergs around midnight, and both sank with heavy loss of life.
