RMS Titanic


 * For the ship in Voyage of the Damned, see Titanic (spaceship).

The RMS Titanic was a luxury ocean liner on Earth in the early 20th century, noted as being the largest ship of its time. It was famously called "unsinkable", yet sank on its maiden voyage in 1912.

The Seventh Doctor, Ace and Bernice Summerfield travelled to the Titanic, tracking Huitzilin and were on the ship when it collided with the iceberg. (NA: The Left-Handed Hummingbird) El Ape, a temporary travelling companion of the Seventh Doctor, actually caused the ship to sink. (DWM: Follow That TARDIS!)

The Fourth Doctor had an issue of the Daily Mirror describing the disaster, which was read by Borusa. On noticing this, the Doctor promised that he had nothing to do with the ship's destruction. (DW: The Invasion of Time)

Later the Ninth Doctor persuaded several people to not board the liner on its maiden voyage. (DW: Rose) The Doctor told Jabe Ceth Ceth Jafe that he had once been on a ship that "they said was unsinkable. I ended up clinging to an iceberg. It wasn't half cold." This seems a probable reference to his adventure on the Titanic. (DW: The End of the World)

When asked by her teacher why the Titanic sunk, Mels stated the reason was because the Doctor didn't save it and called the teacher stupid for not knowing. This got her sent to the head teacher's office. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)
