Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility; And Other Sea Tales

eBook
The Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility (originally called Futility) was written by Morgan Robertson in 1898. The novella centers around the fictional passenger ship Titan and the events that unfold after it strikes an iceberg and sinks in the North Atlantic. Futility became a cultural phenomenon after the real world sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912 due to the many similarities between the fictional sinking and the real world events that developed 14 years after the book was first published. This book is a must-read for Titanic fans. It serves as much as an omen today as it did 100 years ago.This reprint of Morgan's masterpiece remains true to the original text and has been painstakingly transcribed to preserve the author's original formatting nuances. This edition also includes the following short stories: "Where Angels Fear to Tread", "The Brain of the Battleship", "The Wigwag Message", "The Trade-Wind", "Between the Millstones", "The Battle of the Monsters", "From the Royal-Yard Down", "Needs Must When the Devil Drives", and "Primordial."
