The Novel That Foretold the Sinking of the Titanic
THE WORLD'S GREATEST MARITIME TRAGEDY The world's greatest ocean liner crosses the ocean. The largest, most luxurious liner ever to set sail, the Titan is doomed never to make port, but is instead fated to meet her final rest at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. Morgan Robertson's novella is famed for its remarkable similarities to the real-life tragedy which befell the legendary liner, the RMS Titanic fourteen years after the novella was published. Contains four stories THE WRECK OF THE TITAN THE PIRATES BEYOND THE SPECTRUM IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW
Morgan Robertson gilt als Meister der Seemannsgeschichten. Sein bekanntester Roman handelt von der Titan, einem Luxusdampfer, der wie die Titanic 14 Jahre später sank. Robertson, interessiert am Okkulten, könnte durch eine übernatürliche Quelle inspiriert worden sein. Kalman Tanito vergleicht Titan und Titanic und analysiert deren Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede.
