Greetings:

I am almost certain that I read a book about a ship which sunk by
hitting an iceberg - written shortly before the actual sinking of the
Titanic. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I have perused endless
titles on the Titanic without success.
Y'all have done amazing things in the past!

The book is "Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan" by Morgan Robertson.

Could this be "Wreck of the Titan, or Futility" by Morgan Robertson,
1861-1915? Looks like it was originally copyrighted in 1898.
