History of the Port of Southampton

In this museum you can learn about Southampton's Titanic Story. The famous Titanic sailed from Southampton. But do you know the peculiar story about the writer Morgan Robertson. 14 years before the sinking of the Titanic, fantasy writer Morgan Robertson wrote the novella Futility, which told the story of a ship that was sunk — and which bore the name The Titan. Both the fictional and real ship were described as unsinkable, had similar technical characteristics, lacked a suitable number of lifeboats, and collided with icebergs in the North Atlantic.
