Fourteen years before the Titanic made its fateful voyage, Morgan Robertson wrote a novella predicting its crash. The book was entitled Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan, and it was published in 1898.
Robertson's predictions bore so many similarities to the actual crash it's not hard to believe some sort of psychic phenomena was at play. Robertson told the story of The Titan, a fictional boat (or was it?!), the largest in the world, completely unsinkable. It hit an iceberg 400 miles from Newfoundland, traveling at 25 knots, and sank. The Titanic was, of course, hailed as unsinkable, and went on to crash into an iceberg 400 miles from Newfoundland at 22.5 knots. A number of other similarities exist between the book and the Titanic, maybe suggesting that Robertson had some other-worldly gifts.
