INVINCIBLE ? is the adjective that its manufacturer, The White Star Line, used to promote the world?s safest, largest, and grandest first class ship. Everyone in the world at that time were all eyes to the RMS Titanic as its publicity is very promising especially among the elite members of society and even roared loader as it set sail for the first time in April 10, 1912 for a Trans-Atlantic crossing from England to New York. The ship was able to make a stop at Queenstown, Ireland and again set sail to head for its final destination.

With the happy gatherings by the elite passengers in the ship (the Titanic), little did they know that it the modern and sophisticated luxury offered to them would come to an early end. On the evening of April 14, 1912, the ship called for help after hitting an iceberg. In the morning of April 15, 1912, the ship?s (the Titanic) voyage ended, and finally sank. After it sank, the ship had proven that it is not that invincible after all.

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.
