  • The P&O ocean liner Oceana, bound from London to Bombay, sank after colliding with the German barge Pisagua at Beachy Head, England. All of the 241 passengers and crew were evacuated from the ship, but nine people died when their lifeboat, first to be launched, was swamped and capsized, and another lifeboat took on so much water that it was on the verge of turning over before its occupants were saved. One author would note later that the event "surely contributed to the initial reluctance of Titanic passengers to board their lifeboats" Richard Davenport-Hines, Titanic Lives: Migrants and Millionaires, Conmen and Crew (HarperCollins UK, 2012) the following month.[60]
  • After removal of the bodies of the sailors who died in its 1898 explosion, the USS Maine was towed to sea by the USS Osceola into international waters, three miles from Havana Harbor, and sunk again to a depth of 620 fathoms (roughly 3,700 feet or 1,100 meters).[61]
  • The United States Senate passed a bill giving "local citizenship" to residents of the Philippines who had been subjects of Spain in 1899. U.S. President William Howard Taft signed the bill into law on March 23.[17]
  • Born: Pat Nixon, American social leader, First Lady of the United States from 1969 to 1974, as Thelma Catherine Ryan, in Ely, Nevada (d. 1993)

  • In San Antonio, 26 people were killed, and another 32 injured, by the explosion of a boiler on a locomotive owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad. Most were repairmen working for the railroad, but some were local residents.[64]
  • U.S. Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa introduced a bill for a nationwide primary election to select presidential and vice-presidential party nominees, as well as electors, to be held on the second Monday of July prior to every presidential election, beginning with July 8, 1912, and prohibiting American political parties from holding nomination conventions.[65]
