Benjamin Briggs

Captain Benjamin Briggs was master of the Mary Celeste. When the Daleks arrived on board the ship in search of the Doctor's TARDIS, Briggs jumped overboard rather than face them. (TV: The Chase)

He was not the last Captain Briggs to lose his ship to the Doctor's arch nemeses. 1,654 years later (then roughly 65.5 million years earlier), another Captain Briggs lost her freighter to Cybermen. (TV: Earthshock)
