From the oracle Wikipedia comes Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan:
Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan was an 1898 novella written by Morgan Robertson. The story features the ocean liner Titan which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the RMS Titanic which sank fourteen years later.
If only the captain of the Titanic had read this book! The loss of life was… what would be a good word… ah! FUTILE!. But I don’t suppose the ship’s librarian would have stocked it…
Now something to brighten our day. Yes, it’s the Titanic Adventure Slide!. Think of the fun you can have reliving that tragedy! Perfect for Bon Voyage parties:
