There are many interesting facts about the Titanic but perhaps out of all that I have read, this one takes the cake. It is riddled with irony that is almost too spooky for comfort. It leads me to believe that perhaps the ship?s fate was seen by folks with the gift of seeing the future. You already know of the novel called Futility which has striking similarities with the events that happened on the unfortunate April 14 with the Titanic.

A known spiritualist named William T. Stead also wrote a story that wasn?t as spot-on as the plot in Futility but also had similarities. His story told of a tale about a ship that collides with a mail ship. Many died because of the lack of lifeboats aboard. In the 1912, Mr. Stead traveled across the Atlantic as he was called to a peace conference by President Taft which was held in New York. Can you guess what ship he was on? Yes, you guessed right and of course, Mr. Stead never made it to the conference. There are many stories which the Titanic brings.
