Nosferatu (ship)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Nosferatu was Sabalom Glitz's ship. On Iceworld, it was taken by Kane to make Glitz give up the map to the treasure of Svartos. During the emergency it was used by the people to try to evacuate Iceworld, but it was rigged to explode, killing them all.
Glitz later took Iceworld and renamed it the Nosferatu II. (DW: Dragonfire)
Behind the scenes
The word nosferatu is supposedly Romanian for vampire, as presented in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula and its subsequent unauthorised 1922 adaptation entitled Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror. Its origin is debated (Stoker did not invent it), but it forms part of a motif of vampirism in Dragonfire writer Ian Briggs' Doctor Who work. His subsequent story The Curse of Fenric featured more references to Dracula.
