In 1898, an author named Morgan Robertson wrote a novel about an ocean liner crossing the Atlantic, but after an iceberg collided with the vessel it sank, causing great loss of life. The liner was the biggest ship afloat, but was going at excessive speed with only the minimum number of lifboats required by law. Fouteen years after the book was published, a great ship was on her maiden voyage to New York when it collided with a massive iceberg. It was also going at enormous speed with only the minimum required number of lifeboats. The two ships were vastly similar. The fictional ship sank at night in April, the real ship sank on the night of April 14-15, 1912. They both had similar weights, diplacements, horsepower. The real ship, of course, was the Titanic. Its countrpart was the Titan. Ironically, a copy of the book, which was titled Futility, could have been found in the Titanic's library. Imagine what might have occured had anyone on board the ship read the book and noticed the similarity between the two ships.
nobody really knows, but it might of been one of the critics who observed the ship or a fellow crew member who people thought were crazy.

I would say that Morgen Roberston predicted the sinking of the titanic. With his book "The futility"
