She was the largest craft afloat and the greatest of the works of men. In her construction and maintenance were involved every science, profession, and trade known to civilization. On her bridge were officers, who, besides being the pick of the Royal Navy, had passed rigid examinations in all studies that pertained to the winds, tides, currents, and geography of the sea; they were not only seamen, but scientists. The same professional standard applied to the personnel of the engineroom, and the steward's department was equal to that of a firstclass hotel.Two brass bands, two orchestras, and a theatrical company entertained the passengers during waking hours; a corps of physicians attended to the temporal, and a corps of chaplains to the spiritual, welfare of all on board, while a welldrilled firecompany soothed the fears of nervous ones and added to the general entertainment by daily practice with their apparatus.

The Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility (originally called Futility) was written by Morgan Robertson in 1898. The novella centers around the fictional passenger ship Titan and the events that unfold after it strikes an iceberg and sinks in the North Atlantic. Futility became a cultural phenomenon after the real world sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912 due to the many similarities between the fictional sinking and the real world events that developed 14 years after the book was first published. This book is a must-read for Titanic fans. It serves as much as an omen today as it did 100 years ago.This reprint of Morgan's masterpiece remains true to the original text and has been painstakingly transcribed to preserve the author's original formatting nuances. This edition also includes the following short stories: "Where Angels Fear to Tread", "The Brain of the Battleship", "The Wigwag Message", "The Trade-Wind", "Between the Millstones", "The Battle of the Monsters", "From the Royal-Yard Down", "Needs Must When the Devil Drives", and "Primordial."

How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About Futility, Or The Wreck Of The Titan by Morgan Robertson Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan is an 1898 novella written by Morgan Robertson. The story features the fictional ocean liner Titan, which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the real-life passenger ship RMS Titanic, which sank fourteen years later. Following the wreck, the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly in the ship's gross tonnage. The first half of Futility introduces the hero John Rowland. Rowland is a disgraced former US Navy officer. Now an alcoholic fallen to the lowest levels of society, he's been dismissed from the Navy and works as a deckhand on the Titan. One April night the ship hits an iceberg, sinking somewhat before the halfway point of the novel. The second half follows Rowland. He saves the young daughter of a former lover by jumping onto the iceberg with her. The pair find a lifeboat washed up on the iceberg, and are eventually rescued by a passing ship. But the girl is recovered by her mother and Rowland is arrested for her kidnapping. A sympathetic magistrate discharges him and rebukes the mother for unsympathy to her daughter's savior. Rowland disappears from the world.

The Wreck of the Titan or, Futility: Large print by Morgan Robertson "Port your wheel--hard over," repeated the first officer to the quartermaster at the helm--who answered and obeyed. Nothing as yet could be seen from the bridge. The powerful steering-engine in the stern ground the rudder over; but before three degrees on the compass card were traversed by the lubber's-point, a seeming thickening of the darkness and fog ahead resolved itself into the square sails of a deep-laden ship, crossing the Titan's bow, not half her length away.
