Summary "The Wreck of the Titan" by Morgan Robertson is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the fictional steamship Titan, lauded as an unsinkable marvel of engineering, and follows a diverse cast of characters, most notably John Rowland, a destabilized naval officer who finds himself aboard the ill-fated vessel. As the narrative unfolds, themes of hubris, love, and tragedy emerge, ultimately leading to a catastrophic event that reflects the consequences of overconfidence in human technology. The opening of "The Wreck of the Titan" introduces readers to the grandeur of the Titan, highlighting its design, features, and the individuals who serve on board. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the ship as a floating city equipped with the latest advancements, while hinting at the underlying tension in the interactions among crew members and passengers. John Rowland is presented as a troubled figure grappling with his past and a complex love for a woman named Myra, who complicates his emotional state. Throughout this beginning segment, the groundwork is laid for a tragic incident, as the ship's confidence and indestructibility are set against the grim realities of life at sea, foreshadowing the coming disaster.
