Futility by Morgan Robertson

In 1898, a short story was written about how a ship named the “Titan”. It collided with an iceberg and sank with heavy a loss of life. The story was called “Futility”, and it closely resembled the Titanic disaster.

Both ships were British and sailed in April with a top speed of 24-25 knots. They had the same passenger capacity of 3,000 but sailed with a little over 2,000. Also they were between 800 and 900 feet long and driven with triple propellers. Each also sank 95 miles south of the banks of Greenland. Here’s the most astonishing fact: both ships sank after being pierced by an iceberg on their starboard side.

Titanic as it is Today

Today the Titanic lies in the North Atlantic off the coast of Newfoundland. Split in two and separated by nearly a mile, the two parts (bow and stern) are half stuck in the mud on the bottom of the ocean, 2.5 miles below the surface. Unfortunately, it is slowly being eaten by micro-organisms and bacteria. During the dives down to the Titanic several items have been brought up, such as coal, glasses, the first class cherub, cups and china, jars, and other items. These items have been spared decomposing in the Atlantic Waters.
