WHY READ THE WRECK OF THE TITAN IN 2025?

127 years later, still timely

An eerie maritime adventure that seems to anticipate the Titanic, Robertson’s novella marries technical detail with a bracing cautionary tale. Its momentum comes from hubris at sea, brisk set pieces, and the thin line between confidence and catastrophe. You come for the coincidence; you stay for the lesson in risk, scale, and human complacency.
