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.
August 7th through history
Napoleon sails, and a wire between two towers
On August 7th 1815 Napoleon was transferred at sea off the Devon coast from HMS Bellerophon to HMS Northumberland, and sailed the next day for St Helena. The Bellerophon’s weeks in British waters had drawn crowds the Admiralty struggled to hold back, and the transfer was made at sea partly to be rid of them. He reached the island on October 15th and never left it.
On August 7th 1974 Philippe Petit stepped off the south tower of the World Trade Center onto a steel cable he and his friends had smuggled up overnight, and spent about three quarters of an hour crossing between the towers eight times, 1,350 feet above Manhattan. He was arrested on the roof. The charges were dropped in exchange for a free performance for children in Central Park.
The balsa raft Kon-Tiki struck a reef at Raroia in the Tuamotus on August 7th 1947, at the end of a drift of some 4,300 miles from Peru. Thor Heyerdahl had proved a voyage was possible, which is not the same as proving it happened.
Alexei Sayle, the comedian who helped found the alternative comedy movement, had parents who were Liverpool communists and took their holidays behind the Iron Curtain on his father’s railway passes, which is a childhood with a certain amount of material in it. He was born on August 7th 1952, David Duchovny, the actor best known for The X-Files, in 1960, and Charlize Theron, the Oscar-winning actress, in 1975.
Born on August 7th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Charlize Theron and David Duchovny — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Leo — a Fire sign ruled by the Sun, symbolised by the Lion.
Birthstone
traditionally Sardonyx, or Peridot or Spinel in the modern list for August.
Birth flower
Gladiolus (primary), also Poppy — most commonly cited sources agree on gladiolus as the main August 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.
Gift ideas for a August 7th birthday
A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — sardonyx for the stone, Leo for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
