1872

1872 was perhaps most famous on Earth for the discovery of the completely abandoned Mary Celeste in the mid-Atlantic. There were conflicting accounts of the fate of the crew and passengers — but all of them involved the Doctor and/or Daleks. (TV: The Chase, PROSE: The Mystery of the Marie Celeste, COMIC: A Stitch in Time)

The Fourth Doctor and Leela visited Easter Island. (PROSE: The Eye if Heaven)

Iris Wildthyme was called "Madam" for the last time. (AUDIO: The Panda Invasion)

On 3 February, Joseph Sundvik died. (TV: The Curse of Fenric)

Gideon Tarry established Tretarri to house his workers. (PROSE: The Twilight Streets)

Behind the scenes
One possible "game over" for the video game Don't Blink has the player being sent back in time by a Weeping Angel to the year 1872 to die on the Mary Celeste.
