* On the DVD release of ''The Chase'', the production notes commentary indicates that although some feel the nameplate seen in the episode is misspelled, the spelling used is actually correct. Though ''Mary'' is technically correct, ''Marie'' was popularised when Sir [[Arthur Conan Doyle]] wrote the first fictional account of the ship and misspelled the name. This account became ubiquitous when some [[19th century]] [[newspaper]]s mistook Conan Doyle's fiction for fact. Through the years, many fictional accounts have traced their way back to Conan Doyle's original account. The net result has been widespread confusion — as expressed in [[DCOM]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'' — over whether ''Mary'' or ''Marie'' is the correct spelling. | * On the DVD release of ''The Chase'', the production notes commentary indicates that although some feel the nameplate seen in the episode is misspelled, the spelling used is actually correct.
