Excerpt from The Wreck of the Titan: Or Futility (Classic Reprint)

From her lofty bridge ran hidden telegraph lines to the bow, stern engine-room, crow's-nest on the foremast, and to all parts of the ship where work was done, each wire terminating in a marked dial with a movable indicator, containing in its scope every order and answer required in handling the massive hulk, either at the dock or at sea — which eliminated, to a great extent, the hoarse, nerve-racking shouts of officers and sailors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Historical Fiction Short Story

I learned of this short story from my cousin who just crossed the Atlantic on the Queen Mary 2. He is a past chaplain of the Titanic Society. The author’s talent keeps the pages turning quickly. It is a good read on a winter day.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interest in Titanic sinking

Well I watched raise the titanic and heard this book foretold the sinking, and it did but it was so soon and sudden. The rest of the book is interesting for story and nautical terms.

I did not realize that this book was a series of short stories, one of them being about the Titan. Even still, it was well written and an enjoyable read

5.0 out of 5 stars A Titanic tale!
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2013
Verified Purchase
Written years before the 1912 sinking of the Titanic luxury liner. Morgan Freeman wrote of an eerily similar doomed ship. At times you start to get the feeling you are not reading about the Titan but the famous one instead. The Titan story is a short story, and the other stories are entertaining, as well. What I love about this fellows tales is that, unlike stories in this 21st century, the language is polite with only a very rare occasional (tiny) expletive. I just love a clean story line. Amazon has this gem from times ago at a very reasonable price. Tales about the sea, all of them, and an education in nautical terms to (pirate) boot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really enjoyed it!
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2012
Verified Purchase
Aside from the fact that this book has regained popularity, due to the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's wreck, it is a very easy and enjoyable read. It couldn't cease to amaze me the odd similarities between the fictional wreck of the Titan depicted in the story and the real life wreck of the Titanic, which happened many years after this was published. Having said that, I really liked the scene where the hero fights off a hungry polar bear to protect a child, whom he saves from the shipwreck. Highly recommended!

I bought it for the story around the Titan. A story about a ship that would sink the same way 30 years later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arrivato in anticipo. Inglese di fine '800, serve avere una padronanza della lingua per leggerlo

Libro arrivato in anticipo. Pacchetto perfetto, nessuna priegatura e strappatura. Consiglio per i lettori: inglese di fine '800, serve una certa padronanza linguistica per riuscire a leggerlo (per esempio sono presenti alcune parole ormai andate in disuso nell'inglese odierno).

if you didn't know when the book was published you would think it was a story of the titanic, except the book was published well before. Well written and a captivating read
