Omens- Warnings that the Titanic should not have set sail

    Do you ever wonder if the ship tried to warn its crew and passengers that it should not have set sail? Well some poeple strongly belive that the Titanic did. This meant that somehow, something- the habor, the ship, the crew- knew that the Titanic was destined for disaster. 
    What were some of the "warnings"? 
    Well, for one, to get the Titanic to set sail, tugboats had to pull the Titanic out into the South Hampton harbor. However, while the Titanic was being pulled, the Titanic displaced, or pushed away, an unexpected amount of water to its sides (52,000 tons of water). When the Titanic first started moving while being pulled out, it sent waves of water away fom itself towards the docked boats and ships in the harbor. One of the waves was so big that it pushed one surrounding ship, "The New York", so hard, 6 ropes keeping the ship docked snapped and sent the boat cruising across the Titanic's path. Luckily, the tugboats were able to pull the New York away while Captain Smith put the Titanic in reverse. 
    After the Titanic's "almost run-in" with the New York, the Titanic was halted an hour while tugboats pulled it aside. Was this a sign that the Titanic may have other run-ins in the future, such as an iceberg?
    Another possible omen was that the Olympic, one of Titanic's sister ships, had an accident that postponed (the workers working on the Tityanic had to stop and go help fix the Olympic) it and the Titanic's sailing date by 25 days. Should these 25 days been used to further inspect the Titanic's safety features such as the number of lifeboats?
    Some people even predicted the crash of the Titanic!
    In 1898 (fourteen years before the Titanic), a novel was written by a man named Morgan Robertson about a ship called the "Titan". In the book, the claimed-to-be-unsinkable ship sunk after hitting an iceberg and not having enough lifeboats for all of its wealthy passengers onboard. Sounds a lot like the Titanic, right? The book, titled The Wreck of the Titan, was never published because all of the publishers claimed it was "not believable".
    Chief Officer Henry Wilde wrote a letter to his sister where he wrote, " I still don't like this ship. I have a queer feeling about it."
    One passenger aboard the Titanic, Esther Hart, refused to sleep while on the Titanic.
