1872

1872 was perhaps most famous on Earth for the discovery of the completely abandoned Mary Celeste in the mid-Atlantic. There were conflicting accounts of the fate of the crew and passengers — but all of them involved the Doctor and/or Daleks. (TV: The Chase, PROSE: The Mystery of the Marie Celeste, COMIC: A Stitch in Time)
