Talk:Mary Celeste
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Mary not Marie
The ship's name was Mary Celeste not Marie Celeste, both in real life and in "The Chase". I'm moving the article to reflect this. -- solar penguin/(talk)/(contribs) 07:36, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
- Hmmmm, problem is that it's spelled Marie Celeste in Timechase.

So it's really misleading for this article to speculate that, because a certain story spells it "Marie", it might be talking about a different ship. No, authorial intent is that any time you see "Marie Celeste" it means "Mary Celeste'.
