Morgan Robertson
Morgan Andrew Robertson (September 30, 1861 – March 24, 1915) was a well-known American author of short stories and novels and the self-claimed inventor of the periscope. He was the son of Andrew Robertson, a ship captain on the Great Lakes, and Amelia (Glassford) Robertson.
==Life and career==
Morgan went to sea as a cabin boy and was in the merchant service from 1866 to 1877, rising to first mate. Tiring of life at sea, he studied jewelry making at Cooper Union in New York City and worked for 10 years as a diamond setter. When that work began to impair his vision, he turned to writing sea stories, placing his work in such popular magazines as ''McClure's'' and the ''Saturday Evening Post''. Robertson never made much money from his writing, a circumstance that greatly embittered him. Nevertheless, from the early 1890s on he supported himself as a writer and enjoyed the company of artists and writers in a small circle of New York's bohemia. On the afternoon of March 24, 1915 Robertson was found dead in a hotel room in Atlantic City; the cause of death was found to be heart disease.〔"(MORGAN ROBERTSON DIES STANDING UP; Writer of Sea Tales Found Dead in Hotel with Drug Near Head Resting on Bureau )" (March 25, 1915).
