The story of the Titanic comes with its own X-File. In 1898 -- sixteen years before the Titanic disaster -- Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan. Lord talks about it in the brief forward to his book. The novel was about an Atlantic liner called the Titan that collides with an iceberg on a cold April night. If that weren't enough, the Titan, like the Titanic, was described as "unsinkable." Also like the Titanic, the Titan carried lifeboats for fewer than half of its human cargo.

What was your thinking in creating this section? A synopsis of your longer posts? That is the vibe I get...

I honestly don't understand this comment -- why, it's almost as if you read the titles and not the text. : -) (Hey, I'll take what I can get.)
