Statue of Liberty

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

The Doctor was only known to have visited it in situ once. 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." (DW: Daleks in Manhattan)

The Doctor occasionally encountered it at different locations, or at least referenced its iconic design, at other points in his life. In his fifth body, he compared a statue of the Divine Empress of the Earth Empire to the Statue of Liberty on Earth. (MA: Cold Fusion) In his eighth incarnation the Doctor fought the Threshold, who had taken the Statue of Liberty and other items of Earth culture to the town of Wormwood on the Moon. (DWM: Wormwood) At another point in his eighth life, the Doctor discovered that Cristophe Zarodnix had stolen the Statue in order to have it installed atop the palace of Morbius on Karn. (BFA: The Vengeance of Morbius) During his tenth life, probably after his 1930 encounter with the real object, the Doctor noted that one of the features of the Gameslaves' pinball table was a life-sized Statue of Liberty.
