Ship an amazing creature in the Sea

  • In 1898 (14 years prior to the Titanic tragedy), Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility. This fictitious novel was about the largest ship ever built hitting an iceberg in the Atlantic ocean on a cold April night. The fictional ship (named Titan) and the real ship Titanic were similar in design and their circumstances were remarkably alike. Both ships were labeled "unsinkable".

  •  There were no cats on the Titanic. Cats were often brought on ships as a form of good luck. They also controlled rodents.
