Was the wreck of the Titanic predicted?

No, not really. But 14 years earlier a novella entitled Wreck of the Titan was written by Morgan Robertson. In his novella, The passenger liner Titan strikes an iceberg and sinks with massive casualties due to the lack of lifeboats on the ship. Sound familiar?

Nice point, but Irony and hindsight are two things that help make good fiction great. Thanks for pointing this out Kenny.
