A little Titanic factoid: The novella "Wreck of the Titan" written by Morgan Robertson and published as Futility in 1898, and revised as The Wreck of the Titan in 1912. It features a fictional British ocean liner Titan that sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking are famous for similarities to the passenger ship RMS Titanic and its sinking 14 years later.

"Biggest ship in the world" title

Written before the RMS Titanic was even conceptualized

The fictional ship sank in April in the North Atlantic 400 miles far away from Newfoundland, and there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers. (all same as Titanic)
