Spooky Foretelling of Titanic’s Sinking 14 Years Before It Happened

We all know the story of the Titanic – called unsinkable – it sank on its maiden voyage in 1912. What you may not know is that 14 years before that, author Morgan Robertson wrote a short novel called "Futility" - the story of the sinking of a huge oceanliner named "The Titan". 

Here are some facts:

• The real life Titanic was 882.5 feet long, the fictional Titan was 800 feet long.
• Both ships were all steel with 3 propellers and 2 masts.
• Both ships were considered unsinkable. The Titan had 19 water tight compartments. The Titanic had 16.
• Both ships had water tight doors. The Titan had 92 and Titanic had 12.
• Each was the largest passenger ship ever built.
• Each could carry about 3000 people. The Titan was filled to capacity. The Titanic carried 2,235.
• The Titanic's horse power was 46,000. The Titan's was 40,000.
• Both ships did not have enough lifeboats. Supposedly they didn’t need them because both ships were unsinkable. The Titanic had 20 lifeboats. Titan had 24.
• Both ships began their voyage in April.
• Both struck an iceberg near midnight.
• The Titanic was going 22.5 knots when it hit the iceberg. The Titan was going 25 knots.
• Both ships grazed the iceberg on the starboard side at spots a few hundred miles apart.
• Both ships were traveling between England and New York.

The Titanic sank on this date in 1912. But somehow Morgan Robertson seemed to have a view of that event more than 14 years earlier.
