Was the tragedy of the Titanic disaster foretold in a novel years earlier? In 1898 a novel published under the title of "Futility" also under "Wreck of the Titan" told the story of an "unsinkable ocean liner" which hits an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic on its maiden voyage and sinks to the depths.
