One of the best known and the most astounding coincidences in the Titanic legend is the novella Futility, published in 1898 (fourteen years before the actual Titanic disaster). Robertson describes a ship that is the "largest craft afloat and the greatest works of men." It sets sail on it's maiden voyage in April, meeting its subsequent end through collision with an iceberg.

Morgan Robertson's 1898 novella Futility had many parallels with the RMS Titanic disaster; the book concerned a fictional state-of-the-art ocean liner called Titan, which (like the Titanic) eventually collides with an iceberg on a calm April night whilst en route to New York, with many dying because of the lack of lifeboats. Various other details in the book coincide with the Titanic disaster. Later, she wrote a book, Beyond the Spectrum, that described a future war fought with aircraft that carried "sun bombs". Incredibly powerful, one bomb could destroy a city, erupting in a flash of light that blinds all who look at it. The war begins in December, started by the Japanese with a sneak attack on Hawaii.
