Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan

Published fourteen years prior to the sinking of the TITANIC, this is the uncanny story of a collision between a large oceanliner and an iceberg in the North Atlantic between New York and Britain. Named the TITAN, the ship is the largest vessel afloat when launched, is deemed "unsinkable" due to her watertight doors and compartments, and does not carry nearly enough lifeboats for all the souls aboard. Since the 1912 sinking of TITANIC, many have commented on the remarkable similarities between the fictional TITAN and the R.M.S. TITANIC.
