Great collection of adventure, ghosts, shipwrecks, and insurance scam barratry.
Morgan Robertson, in his story, THE WRECK OF THE TITAN, exactly predicts and describes the sinking of the Titanic more than a decade before the actual event. James Cameron, here’s to you, your submarine, and the deepest abyss.
The Titanic allegedly sunk in 1912. Mr. Robertson wrote his book in 1898. He describes a great steam ship, the biggest and fastest of the day called the Titan. A tremendous craft traveling at twenty five knots from Liverpool to America. It strikes an iceberg in the Atlantic, capsizes on her port side, not enough life boats to save the two-thousand souls on-board, Myra and Rowland are stranded on the ice.
Add in the Lloyds of London underwriter, Mr. Meyer, and you have what appears to be a perfect predictive program. A great insurance ripoff program by the pentagram church.
Nothing new under the sun.
This book had me singing sea shantys. You and me on a three masted schooner. We’re looking over the railing into the wine dark sea.
You point to something submerged under the waves.
It’s a ghost ship sailing on our broadside, full of zombie pirates.
I grab your hand and make way for the forecastle. We find the cargo hold full of luxury automobiles. We make out in the backseat of a Model T. Heavy petting, foggy windows.
We find the pirates smoking hasheesh and drinking sangria from an oaken barrel. We join them in the saloon. Your hair is a frizzy nest of spectacular-spectacular. The pirates immediately fall in love with you.
We are saved.
