By one account, [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] accidentally [[materialise]]d on the ship while the [[First Doctor]] was trying to evade a [[Dalek time machine]]. [[Barbara Wright]] left the TARDIS to explore the ship but was captured by first mate [[Albert C. Richardson]]. She was then rescued by [[Vicki Pallister]], and they returned to the TARDIS with [[Ian Chesterton]], who alone noticed the name of the ship. Richardson witnessed the TARDIS' dematerialisation and reported it to Captain Briggs. | By one account, [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] accidentally [[materialise]]d on the ship while the [[First Doctor]] was trying to evade a [[Dalek time machine]].

In a different account, the Second Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe found that the crew of the ''Mary Celeste'' had been abducted by [[Arcturan]]s.
