Hmmm Interesting... I read about it in "A Night to Remember".
I didn't think they made up the name "Titan" to make money. But even if they didn't and the name was Titan, it would be stupid to even consider that it means something... It was just a coincidence. The word "Titan" Means big. Which is why they named the Titanic the Titanic. Back then, people's interest was on how big they could get machinery. The bigger, the better. The Titanic was the biggest ship in the world and pushed it as one. It isn't out of the question that a young writer had a vision of people marketing a huge ship as a huge ship, and then sinking it. It's the reason the story of Titanic is so fascinating, because it's like it came right out of a book, but nope, it really happened the way it did. |

I have read the entire book. Not hard to believe the simuliar points of the story. First being the biggest and fastest was the norm of that time era. This was the time of prosperity and invention. The story would have to be written with a largest/fastest ship as a book about a average ship would be less novel. Of course if the ship sank in the Atlantic they would freeze to death or drown. It's not a mirrow reflection as many portray it. Here you read it and judge for yourself.
http://www.nashvillewebreview.com/automat/fort/titan.htm A 1898 publication. Read the novel here: http://www.msu.edu/~daggy/cop/effluvia/twott.htm American short story writer and novelist, was born the son of Andrew Robertson, a ship captain on the Great Lakes, and Amelia (Glassford) Robertson. Morgan went to sea as a cabin boy and was in the merchant service from 1866 to 1877, rising to first mate. Tiring of life at sea, he studied jewelry making at Cooper Union in New York City and worked for 10 years as a diamond setter. When that work began to impair his vision, he turned to writing sea stories, placing his work in such popular magazines as McClure's and the Saturday Evening Post. Robertson never made much money from his writing, a circumstance that greatly embittered him. Nevertheless, from the early 1890s until his death in 1915 he supported himself as a writer and enjoyed the company of artists and writers in a small circle of New York's bohemia. Robertson was found dead of heart disease in an Atlantic City hotel room. |
