"Futility: The Wreck of the Titan" by Morgan Robertson.

Not really predictive; the stories are quite different in detail.

Yes there were books like that and the two other posters have beaten me to the answer. Another eerily predictive novel was written by Nevil Shute about 1948, called "No Highway" which deals with the disappearance of British post-war airliners due to metal fatigue. A few years later some of the "Comet", airliners, the world's first jet airliner buit by the British de Havilland company vanished over the Atlantic. This was eventually shown to be due to metal fatigue. The book was filmed as "No Highway in the Sky" with Marlene Dietrich in a leading role. Shute was Nevil Shute Norway, an aeronautical engineer who had worked with de Havilland nearly 20 years before.

It was called the Titan and a lot of what happened in the book
did happen in real life.The ship in the book was struck by an iceberg and there was not enough lifeboats.
