[edit] History of the Doctor Who Universe
- President Lecomte of Haiti is murdered by agents of Tancred Auguste. Auguste later moves Lecomte's body to the Presidential Palace and blows the building up, hoping to make it look as if Lecomte perished in the explosion. Auguste then seizes power as president, but is himself soon assassinated. (NA: White Darkness)
- 10 April - The ocean liner RMS Titanic sets sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England. The Daniels family, following a warning delivered by a mysterious friend known only as the Doctor, cancel their plans to embark on the ship. A photograph of the Daniels and the Doctor later comes into Clive Finch's posession. (DW: Rose) The Ninth Doctor later remarks that he was on board the Titanic, but it's not known if he's referring to the events captured in Clive's photograph, the incident involving the Seventh Doctor (described below) or another event.
- 14 April - The ocean liner RMS Titanic strikes an iceberg on its maiden voyage. As the ship sinks, the Seventh Doctor stops the Blue from acquiring the Xiuhcoatl. (NA: The Left-Handed Hummingbird)
- 15 April - The Titanic sinks in the early hours of this date. Over 1500 people die. The Doctor assures Borusa he "had nothing to do with it." (DW: The Invasion of Time) The sinking is marked as a major event in 20th Century Earth history, and nearly 100 years later Max Capricorn commissions a space-faring replica of Titanic, which nearly meets a similarly tragic end. (DW: Voyage of the Damned) Charlotte Elspeth Pollard is born on the same day. (BFA: Neverland)
