Morgan Robertson was an American author who is best known for his 1898 novel titled "Futility, or The Wreck of the Titan." The novel is a fictional story about the largest luxury ocean liner ever built, called the Titan, which strikes an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sinks on its maiden voyage. Interestingly, the similarities between the fictional Titan and the real-life RMS Titanic, which sank in 1912, are quite striking. Both ships were described as "unsinkable," had similar dimensions, and sank after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic.

Morgan Robertson's novel was published 14 years before the Titanic disaster occurred, leading many people to believe that he somehow predicted the tragic event. However, it is important to note that his work was a work of fiction and not a direct prediction. The similarities between the novel and the actual events of the Titanic are often seen as coincidence or as examples of the author's knowledge and understanding of maritime practices and shipbuilding during that time.

Apart from "Futility," Morgan Robertson wrote numerous other books, short stories, and articles, mostly in the genres of adventure and maritime fiction. However, he never achieved significant commercial success or widespread recognition during his lifetime. make it shorter.
