A fourth history put the [[Third Doctor]] into the mix. When he landed [[the TARDIS]] on the [[New York City|New York]] docks, the crew of the ''Mary Celeste'' mistook it for cargo and had it loaded on board. To regain access to his ship, the Doctor paid for passage on the ''Mary Celeste''. When he showed Professor [[Theodore Cassells]] the TARDIS interior, he fled from the hold to the deck. When he tried to tell Captain Briggs what he had seen, the Captain Briggs misunderstood and thought the TARDIS was a [[time bomb]]. He, Cassells and the crew left the ''Mary Celeste'' in a lifeboat, which was swamped by a large wave that drowned everyone on it. The Doctor left, unaware of the name of the ship he was on.

* 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.

* Although ''The Chase'' is played mostly for laughs, the scene in which the Daleks force the passengers to jump overboard takes on a sombre note as a baby is shown among those falling into the sea, becoming the first baby to presumably die during the course of a televised ''Doctor Who'' story. | * Although ''The Chase'' is played mostly for laughs, the scene in which the Daleks force the passengers to jump overboard takes on a sombre note as a baby is shown among those falling into the sea, becoming the first baby to presumably die during the course of a televised ''Doctor Who'' story. | ||
