The ship's name was ''Mary Celeste'' not ''Marie Celeste'', both in real life and in "The Chase". I'm moving the article to reflect this. -- '''[[User:Solar penguin|solar penguin]]/([[User talk:Solar penguin|talk]])/([[Special:Contributions/Solar_penguin|contribs]])''' 07:36, 22 March 2009 (UTC) | The ship's name was ''Mary Celeste'' not ''Marie Celeste'', both in real life and in "The Chase".

::The bigger problem, though, is that '''in real life''' there has been a great deal of confusion over how to spell the name, larger because Arthur Conan Doyle spelled it ''Marie'' in the first fictional account of it, and many, many people have followed suit with that spelling (and with Conan Doyle's particulars). So it's really misleading for this article to speculate that, because a certain story spells it "Marie", it ''might'' be talking about a different ship. No, authorial intent is that any time you see "Marie Celeste" it means "Mary Celeste'. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''15:11:18 Tue '''14 Jun 2011 </span> | |||
