The Wreck of the Titan, a gripping and eerily prescient novella written fourteen years before the Titanic disaster, tells the tale of the Titan, the largest and most luxurious ocean liner ever built. Touted as unsinkable, the Titan embarks on its maiden voyage from New York to England, carrying an eclectic group of passengers, including John Rowland, a washed-up naval officer, and Myra Selfridge and her young daughter. As the Titan steams through the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a catastrophic collision with an iceberg sends the ship to a watery grave. Amidst the chaos and despair, Rowland finds himself fighting for survival on an ice floe, with the fate of Myra's daughter resting in his hands.
