No, not really. But 14 years earlier a novella entitled Wreck of the Titan was written by Morgan Robertson. In his novella, The passenger liner Titan strikes an iceberg and sinks with massive casualties due to the lack of lifeboats on the ship. Sound familiar?

Here is the Wikipedia article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futility,_or_the_Wreck_of_the_Titan
