How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
April 8th through history
Brunel's Great Western takes on the Atlantic
Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s SS Great Western left Bristol on April 8th 1838 on her maiden voyage to New York, the first steamship built for a scheduled transatlantic service. She was beaten into harbour by the smaller Sirius, which had set out four days earlier from Cork and whose crew are reported to have burned cabin furniture to keep steam up at the end. The Great Western arrived the next day, having taken fifteen days and with some 200 tons of coal still in her bunkers, which was the point Brunel had set out to prove.
The Entente Cordiale was signed in London on April 8th 1904 by Lord Lansdowne and Paul Cambon. It was not an alliance and promised nothing military; it simply settled a long list of colonial quarrels, chiefly by conceding Egypt to Britain and Morocco to France. After eight centuries of intermittent hostility it made 1914 possible.
Margaret Thatcher died on April 8th 2013 after a stroke, at the Ritz hotel in Piccadilly, aged eighty-seven. Pablo Picasso had died on April 8th 1973 at Mougins in Provence, aged ninety-one.
Vivienne Westwood taught in a primary school in north London before she opened a shop on the King’s Road and became the designer who defined British punk fashion; she was born in Derbyshire on April 8th 1941. Kofi Annan, who went on to serve as Secretary-General of the United Nations, was born in 1938, the silent-film star Mary Pickford in 1892, and the musician Julian Lennon in 1963.
Born on April 8th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Vivienne Westwood and Kofi Annan — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Aries — a Fire sign ruled by Mars, symbolised by the Ram.
Birthstone
Diamond for April.
Birth flower
Daisy (primary), also Sweet Pea — most commonly cited sources agree on daisy as the main April flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
