About the Author

Morgan Robertson wrote what he knew about, the sea. Beginning as a young boy when he shipped out as a cabin boy, he spent a good number of years on the ocean learning the crafts and hearing the stories that were to put him in good stead to write about it. He is perhaps best known for his eerily clairvoyant tale, The Wreck of The Titan, about a large luxury liner promoted as "unsinkable" by her owners and sent our with the least number of life rafts the law allowed. She hit an uncharted ice berg off the coast of Newfoundland one night, had her right side torn open and sank taking more than half the 3,000 passengers and crew. That book was written in 1898, years before the Titanic was even on the drawing boards!
