13 actual facts about the Titanic that will shock you! (With Pictures)

4. A Really Bad Book Was Written About it 14 Years Before It Sunk

Morgan Robertson wrote Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan, in 1898, which happened to be fourteen years before the Titanic sunk into the Atlantic Ocean. It was extremely bizarre; since the book took place on a ship called the Titan, and it hit an iceberg in April, just as the Titanic did fourteen years after the book was written. Most people thought that the author was psychic, since there were many “coincidences” between the book and the actual occurrence. In the book, there were almost the same amount of people that died that were in the Titanic, and there weren’t enough lifeboats for everyone, either.
