Fourteen years before the Titanic sank, Morgan Robertson wrote the novella Futility. It was about the large unsinkable ship named the "Titan" hitting an iceberg in the Northern Atlantic. Both the Titanic and the fictional Titan did not have enough lifeboats for the thousands of passengers on board.

There's so many similarities between the two ships it's uncanny to some who believe Robertson wrote the ship with prior knowledge of was going to happen, but he insisted it was merely a coincidence.
