Morgan Robertson, an American author, predicted a novel "Futility" similar to this one 12 years before the Titanic crash in 1898, revolving around a Titan shipwreck, and the details given in the novel. They are astonishingly similar to the sinking of the Titanic. The first thing was the names of the ships, which were only 2 characters apart, namely Titan and Titanic, the size of the ship in the novel was the same as the Titanic was announced, and like the novel Titanic, the number of lifeboats was very small. The author later said that the reason for such a similarity between the two was that they had so much information 'I knew what I was writing and just'.
