I found the Titanic

In 1898, an American writer named Morgan Robertson wrote a book. It was called ' The Wreck of the Titan'. The Titan was a passenger ship. It was labeled unsinkable. It was to sail from England to New York. There were rich and famous passengers on board. The Titan hits an iceberg and sinks. There were not enough lifeboats. Many lives were lost. It was a prophecy of terrible things to come.

In 1907, two men began talking about building huge ships. The two men were J Bruce Ismay and Lord Pirrie. Pirrie was Chairman of Harland and Wolff Shipbuilders. Ismay was President of the White Star Line. 

Their plan was to build 3 enormous ocean liners. Both men wanted the White Star Line to have a competitive edge in the Atlantic passenger trade. In 1911, the first of the huge liners completed it's maiden voyage. The liner was called the ' Olympic'.
