A novella by the name of Futility by the little-known author Morgan Robertson, was released in 1898, the plot of which was so uncannily similar to the real-life Titanic sinking that even the name of the liner was Titan. The level of coincidence to the real-life event was startling; it was republished after the disaster with some amendments, to make it even more similar to the real disaster. But it was not written in any spirit of prophesy; certainly Robertson had no premonitions of the tragedy, it was just an unbelievable coincidence.
The 16th Century French apothecary and reputed 'seer' Nostradamus was reported to have predicted the Titanicdisaster, although his reliability is now considered to be suspect. Much of his 'prophecies' were so worded as to enable them to be made to fit any given future event at any future time, meaning that he couldn't really go wrong. He knew that it was inevitable that a major sea disaster would occur at some point in the distant future, so he was onto a safe bet in claiming to 'foresee' it.
No book actually said that the Titanic would sink, other than the incredible coincidental resemblance that Futility bore to the actual event.
