The '''''Mary Celeste''''', ([[TV]]: | The '''''Mary Celeste''''', ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Eaters of Light (TV story)}}) or '''''Marie Celeste''''', ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|A Stitch in Time (TVA comic story)}}) as it was sometimes wrongly named, was a merchant ship ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A History of Humankind (novel)}}) commanded by Captain [[Benjamin Briggs]]. It was originally named the '''''Amazon'''''. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Secret Lives of Monsters (novel)}}) She was famous for her mysterious abandonment at sea in [[1872]]. According to several accounts, [[the Doctor]] was involved in the crew's disappearance. | ||

The ''Mary Celeste'' left [[New York]] for [[Genoa]] in [[November]] [[1872]]. ([[PROSE]]: | The ''Mary Celeste'' left [[New York]] for [[Genoa]] in [[November]] [[1872]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A History of Humankind (novel)}}) Its crew included Captain Bejamin Briggs, first mate [[Albert C. Richardson|Albert G. Richardson]], second mate [[Andrew Gillings]], and four [[German]] sailors, [[Arien Martens]], [[Gottlieb Gottschalk]], and [[Boy Lorenzen|Boy]] and [[Volkert Lorenzen]]. Captain Briggs' wife [[Sarah Briggs|Sarah]] and daughter [[Sophia Matilda Briggs|Sophia Matilda]] were also on the voyage. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Chase (novelisation)}}) | ||
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]].

Shortly afterwards, [[Dalek]]s arrived on the ship in their time machine ([[TV]]: | Shortly afterwards, [[Dalek]]s arrived on the ship in their time machine ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Chase (TV story)}}) or, by another account, through a [[Time-Conveyor]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timechase (short story)}}) With the [[Bosun (The Chase)|boatswain]] identifying the Daleks as the [[Barbary Terror]], the crew – including the captain, his family, [[Willoughby]], and the [[cabin steward (The Chase)|cabin steward]] – jumped overboard. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Chase (TV story)}}) As the [[Second Doctor]] would later say when telling the story to [[Zoe Heriot]] and [[Jamie McCrimmon]], everyone left on deck was exterminated. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Rosemariners (audio story)}}) By another account, the Daleks were followed by [[Peter (Timechase)|Peter]] and [[David (Timechase)|David]], who pushed one Dalek overboard before leaving, unaware that the ship was the ''Marie Celeste''. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timechase (short story)}}) In his annotation of a [[Coal Hill School]] history book, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] credited the tragedy of the ''Mary Celeste'' to the Daleks.

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

By another account, the [[Third Doctor]] became involved with the ''Mary Celeste'' when, after landing [[the TARDIS]] on the [[New York City|New York]] docks, the crew mistook it for cargo and loaded it onboard. To regain access to his ship, the Doctor paid for passage on the ''Mary Celeste''. After he showed Professor [[Theodore Cassells]] the TARDIS interior, Cassells fled to the deck and told Captain Briggs what he had seen. However, 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.
