I think the best example was Verne's "A Trip to the Moon (and Back Again)." He was very accurate on a number of points except that he had the space vessel shot from a cannon instead of using rocket propulsion to escape the Earth's gravity well.

Jules Verne even called the space capsule, "Columbia."

Another was the book, "Titan" about the world's largest, unsinkable liner and the tragedy that ensues when it hits an iceberg on its maiden voyage from England to New York and sinks with great loss of life. This written decades before the Titanic.
