The Wreck of the Titan is a book by Morgan Robertson about a grand ship that was called, "Unsinkable," but sunk and took many lives with it.
-
J. Bruce Ismay and Lord Pirrie have an idea to build three gigantic and elegant ships.
-
The Titanic is launched in Belfast, Ireland and is continued to be prepared for her maiden voyage.
-
The Titanic casts off from Southampton for her maiden voyage to New York with many passengers aboard.
-
Harold Bride, the radio man, gets a message from another ship that there are icebergs.
-
The Titanic recieves two more messages about icebergs, but only one is delivered to the bridge.
-
The Titanic recieves three more iceberg warnings, and the officers discuss how difficult it is to see an iceberg on such a dark, moonless night.
-
An exhausted Harold Bride ignores a final warning of icebergs from a nearby ship, the Californian.
-
An officer sees an iceberg just ahead of the Titanic.
-
The crew members try to reverse the engine, the watertight compartments are closed, and the officers brace themselves for a collision.
-
The side of the Titanic hits the iceberg, where there are no watertight compartments, and freezing cold water begins to rush in.
-
Passengers become disturbed by the strange noises and wonder what is going on while water quickly flows into the boiler room.
-
A distress signal is sent out from the Titanic and the captain is aware that there are not enough lifeboats.
-
The captain orders the lifeboats uncovered and people begin to file into them; women, children, and first class are lowered into the icy water below first.
-
As lifeboats continue to be lowered and distress messages continue to be sent, the ship continues to sink quickly, yet many are not concerned.
-
With all the life boats lowered and thousands still on board, the Titanic sinks.
-
Freezing to death was the fate of many passengers on the Titanic, though some were in or clung to lifeboats and were eventually rescued by the Carpathia. Sadly, just as prophesized by Morgan Robertson so many years before, there was the Wreck of the Titan, the wreck of the Titanic.
