Titanic Sinking Foretold Years Before it Happened by Four Authors
The frigid plunge the Titanic made into the Atlantic ocean was foretold years before by not one, but four authors in books depicting striking similarities to the actual event. Every one of the books that we’re about to explore boast multiple mindblowing similarities to the sinking of the great ship.
Let’s take a look at what those similarities are:
The Sinking of a Modern Liner (1886)
In this story by W.T. Stead, the ship embarks on a journey from Liverpool to New York City, and along the way becomes involved in a collision. In the panic that ensued, many passengers drowned due to the lack of lifeboats to accommodate the large number of passengers.
Also, much like the Titanic, the captain of the ship parades a revolver to prevent passengers from storming the lifeboat deck, a scene that James Cameron used in his epic depiction of the Titanic Disaster.
As reporter Adam Carter of CBC news reports, “In a strange twist of fate, Stead inadvertently foretold his own death in the book: he was onboard the Titanic when it sank in April 1912.”
