After seeing the Space Seed episode again, I began to wonder about one of 
the scenes in TWoK.  When Chekov and his Captain first encounter Khan's
'home' on the Ceti Alpha planet, Chekov realizes where they are because
of the words "Botany Bay" stenciled on some item (I don't recall what).
However, in Space Seed, after Khan's people took the Enterprise, they
abandoned their ship, and presumably, everything on it.  Later, Kirk says
they'll be dropped off at their new world enroute to starbase x (12?),
as it would be only a slight detour.  I don't think they were going back to
pick up the Botany Bay, or any equipment from it.
