Davy Jones
Sailor's final destination
Davy Jones is a personification of the sea as a malevolent spirit or devil, especially in the expression Davy Jones's locker—the ocean floor as a grave for drowned sailors and sunken ships.
The term dates to the 18th century and appears in nautical lore and pirate fiction: The storm sent the vessel to Davy Jones's locker.
