Uncommon card · No. 105506

Futility is a novella written by American author Morgan Robertson, first published in 1898. It features a fictional American ocean liner named Titan that sinks in the North Atlantic Ocean after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking were noted for their similarities to the real-life passenger ship RMS Titanic and its sinking 14 years later. Following the sinking of the Titanic, the novel was reissued with a number of changes, particularly to the ship's displacement, and was renamed Futility, or The Wreck of the Titan.
