The Lankester was a steamboat owned by Captain Callany. Every year, she sailed from Madagascar to New Orleans without delay.

History

Callany planned to retire, at which time he would hand the Lankester over to his Chief Mate, De Requin. The Doctor and Peri Brown travelled aboard the Lankester. They wished to travel to New Orleans. A number of murders occurred onboard.

While dining, the Doctor and Peri heard the screams of a crew member. Arriving on the scene the crew found Crawford, a sailor, stabbed to death. The Doctor was blamed for his death and arrested. He was released to treat Amy Ivans.

The Doctor went to search for supplies. Callany met him and told him that he had the Doctor arrested so that De Requin would believe the Doctor was the suspect. Callany told the Doctor that he in fact suspected De Requin, always feeling watched by him. The Doctor told Callany that Amy was being poisoned with small doses of mercury. The Lankester ran aground on some rocks and the hull was breached. It began to sink. The TARDIS had been stored alongside the breach. It was pulled out when the breach opened.

Meanwhile, De Requin tried to force feed Peri some mercury to kill her. In the following scuffle, Amy's wheelchair was knocked over to reveal that she was a mermaid. De Requin had found her and planned to sell her in New Orleans. He kept her daughter, Galliteya, hidden in a wall compartment.

De Requin shot and killed Callany when he told him there were no lifeboats left. Nereus and his mermaids arrived and killed De Requin and the ship sank. Nereus promised help for the crew who had jumped overboard before the sinking. (BFA: Cryptobiosis)
