Wicked! Two identical redirects from two objects whose identity is to be decided to the same object. I would jokingly propose to replace it with a disambiguation page that lists the same destination twice but with different explanations.

Wait, I started typing a more serious plan for a disambig page, but I missed the main point. If "the Ship" has been established to mean the Doctor's TARDIS back in Hartnell era, then the FP writer(s) could have relied on this identification. I mean I know that "the Ship" is listed as an alternative name in the intro to The Doctor's TARDIS, but I somehow thought that to be FP related.

Of course, it's a difficult thing to figure out as the TARDIS would have been called the ship as that's what she is. So I guess the question is whether TARDIS was called "the ship" or "the Ship" in Hartnell's times.
