The Titanic sinking was also eerily foreshadowed in an 1898 novel by Morgan Robertson, entitled ''The Wreck of the Titan.'' In the novel, a large, luxurious and "unsinkable" ocean liner called the ''Titan'' strikes an iceberg in the North Atlantic. The ship is carrying too few lifeboats, so many passengers drown or freeze in the ocean.<ref>http://www.titanic-titanic.com/wreck_of_the_titan_1.shtml</ref> The book is noted for its many similarities to the Titanic, including the name, the maiden voyage in April, the iceberg collision, the nautical position of the sinking (400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland) and the lack of lifeboats.

Two Titanic museums, featuring items from the ship, are located in [[Branson]], [[Missouri]] and in [[Pigeon Forge, Tennessee]]. In each, guests are given the name of a passenger aboard the ship, and at the end will learn if they survived or perished.
