- For the ship in Voyage of the Damned, see Titanic (spaceship).
I never cared for the word "impregnable". Sounds too much like "unsinkable". What's wrong with "unsinkable"? Oh, nothing', said the iceberg to the Titanic.
- The Doctor and Harry Sullivan (DW: Robot)
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 is known famously for having been called "unsinkable". The Doctor persuaded several people to not board the liner prior to its maiden voyage. (DW: Rose)
The 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 traveling companion of The Doctor, actually caused the ship to sink (DWM: Follow That TARDIS!)
Recreations
Max Capricorn, the head of Max Capricorn Cruiseliners, constructed a starship replica of the Titanic for a voyage from Sto to Earth for the observation of "primitive cultures" on Christmas Day, 2008. (DW: Voyage of the Damned)
It may be that the Doctor was wearing the same tuxedo on the starship Titanic as he wore on the seaship Titanic, as hinted at by the line: "Bad name for a ship. Either that or this suit is really unlucky." (DW: Voyage of the Damned)
Minor references
- As Borusa sat reading a newspaper account of the sinking of the Titanic, The Doctor claimed that he had nothing to do with the ship's destruction. (DW: The Invasion of Time)
- The Ninth 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." (DW: The End of the World). It is unknown whether this refers to the adventure above, as it may be considered non-canonical, or a separate, unseen adventure.
