DAVY JONES' LOCKER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cast of characters in the original Treasure Island novel

 

 

 

Davy Jones' Locker is a metaphor for the bottom of the sea: the resting place among drowned sailors and shipwrecks. It is used as a euphemism for drowning or shipwrecks in which the sailors' and ships' remains are consigned to the depths of the ocean (to be sent to Davy Jones' Locker).

The origins of the name of Davy Jones, the sailors' devil, are unclear, with a 19th-century dictionary tracing Davy Jones to a "ghost of Jonah". Other explanations of this nautical superstition have been put forth, including an incompetent sailor or a pub owner who kidnapped sailors.

 

Davy Jones is said to have been the captain of the Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship, equal in meaning among those who go to sea as the mythical locker.
