Floating City
Ocean liners have a strong impact on popular culture, whether during their golden age or afterwards. In 1867, Jules Verne recounted his experience aboard in his novel "A Floating City". In 1898, writer Morgan Robertson wrote the short novel "Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan", which features a British ocean liner "Titan" that hits an iceberg and sinks in the North Atlantic with great loss of lives. The similarities between the plot of the novel and the sinking of the 14 years later led to the assertion of conspiracy theories regarding "Titanic".
