Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty was an American landmark located on an island in the river contiguous to New York City.

History
In 1930, the Doctor's TARDIS materialised at the base of the Statue, and remained parked there while the Tenth Doctor and Martha fought an attempt by the Cult of Skaro to rebuild the Dalek race. In showing off the Statue to Martha, the Doctor quoted from the Statue's famous inscription, saying, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free." (TV: Daleks in Manhattan)

As the TARDIS' time rotor began to slow down on approach for landing in 1966, the First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright, and Vicki Pallister turned to toward the monitor to see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and numerous other New York City landmarks. (TV: The Chase)

During the first seconds of 1 January 2000, the Statue of Liberty, along with the rest of the world, was nearly destroyed by the Eye of Harmony. (TV: Doctor Who)

In 2254, the Statue of Liberty survived a Dalek invasion of Earth which saw New York liberated by the Doctor. (GAME: Dalek Attack)

In the Doctor's eighth incarnation, the Threshold took the Statue of Liberty and other items of Earth culture to the town of Wormwood on the Moon. (COMIC: Wormwood)

A Statue of Liberty could be seen in New New York in 5,000,000,023. (TV: New Earth)

Alternate timelines
In an alternative timeline in which Morbius conquered Earth, he took the Statue of Liberty in order to have it installed atop the palace of Morbius on Karn; this timeline was later erased from reality. (AUDIO: The Vengeance of Morbius)

In Roma I, the Jupiter Libertatis stood in the place of the Statue of Liberty. It too was built by Gaulish sculptors. (PROSE: Warlords of Utopia)

In another timeline in which the Weeping Angels were using New York City as a "battery farm" for feeding on humans' time energy in 1938, the Statue of Liberty was one of the many statues in the city that were taken over by the Angels. Sometimes the Statue of Liberty would travel from Liberty Island to the Winter Quay in order to send the Angels' imprisoned victims back in time.

When Rory Williams and Amy Pond jumped from the Quay's roof to negate an alternate timeline in which Rory remained imprisoned at Winter Quay for the rest of his life, a paradox was created which killed the majority of the Weeping Angels at Winter Quay and removed the Quay from time. As a result of this, the timeline in which the Statue was converted into an Angel never happened. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan)

Mentions and other appearances
The Doctor occasionally encountered it at different locations, or at least referenced its iconic design, at other points in his life. During his fifth incarnation, he compared a statue of the Divine Empress of the Earth Empire to the Statue of Liberty on Earth. (PROSE: Cold Fusion)

During his tenth incarnation, the Doctor noted that one of the features of the Gameslaves' pinball table was a life-sized Statue of Liberty. (COMIC: Pinball Wizard)

Behind the scenes
The Statue of Liberty features on the finalised cover for The First Doctor Adventures: Volume One, replacing the anachronistic Empire State Building which had not been built yet during the time period depicted in the story The Great White Hurricane. However, the new cover also required adjustments because the green patina familiar to listeners in 2017 was the result of copper oxidation. When the statue was newly assembled, it was the bronze colour of copper, as is reflected in the final cover.

The Statue of Liberty turned into a Weeping Angel is one of the Weeping Angel enemies in the Doctor Who: Legacy mobile game.

The Statue of Liberty, with its torch's flame molded into the shape of the number 13, featured in a promotional teaser for Meet the Thirteenth Doctor.
