"Wreck Of The Titan" is a book I long to read but I probably have to order it. It's a type of book that will probably send chills down your spine because when Morgan Robertson got this book published in 1898; all he wrote about the "Titan" was so close to the actual events of the "Titanic" in 1912. The ship he drew even looked like the titanic here are some of the similarities:
Titan: 2500 passengers drowned
Titanic: 2208 passengers died
Titan: Had 24 life boats
Titanic: Had 20 life
Titan: was 800 feet displacing 75,000 tons
Titanic: was 882 feet displacing 53,000 long tons
Now you see why I want to read the book
