The Titan/Titanic

In 1898, a short novel called The Wreck of the Titan or Futility, by Morgan Robertson, was published in the U.S. It told the story of the maiden voyage of an "unsinkable" luxury liner called the Titan. Robertson described the boat in great detail.
The Titan, he wrote, was 800 feet long, weighed 75,000 tons, had three propellers and 24 lifeboats, and was packed with rich passengers. Cruising at 25 knots, the Titan's hull was ripped apart when it hit an iceberg in April. Most of the passengers were lost because there weren't enough lifeboats. Robertson apparently claimed he'd written his book with the help of an "astral writing partner."

Eerie Coincidence:Fourteen years later, the real-life Titanic took off on its maiden voyage. Like the fictional Titan, it was considered the largest and safest ship afloat. I was 882.5 feet long, weighed 66,000 tons, had three propellers and 22 life boats, and carried a full load of rich passengers. Late at night on April 14, 1912, sailing at 23 knots, the Titanic ran into and iceberg which tore a hole in its hull and upended the ship. At least 1,513 people drowned because there weren't enough lifeboats.

Strange huh?
Just thought i would share that with you all. I want to read that book now. :P
