Wreck of the Titan Or, Futility

Fictional novella originally written in 1898 about an unsinkable passenger ship called the Titan. Close parallels to the Titanic -- both were unsinkable, both struck icebergs, both were on their maiden voyages, only one-third of the passengers on each ship survived, the elite of the time were on board both ships, and both ships were encouraged to break speed records.
Includes a biography of Morgan Robertson, the author.
