Davy Jones's Locker
Davy Jones' locker is a metaphor for the oceanic abyss, the final resting place of drowned sailors and travellers. It is 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''). First used in print in 1726, the name Davy Jones' origins 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. History The earliest known reference of the negative connotation of Davy Jones occurs in ''The Four Years Voyages of Capt. George Roberts'', attributed to Daniel Defoe (but potentially involving the journal of a real George Roberts), published in 1726 in London. And elsewhere in ''The Four Years Voyages'': Proposed origins of the tale The origin of the tale of Davy Jones is unclear, and many conjectural or folklo ...

Operation Davy Jones' Locker (or Davey) was a U.K. and U.S. military operation from 1946 to 1948. It involved the dumping at sea of captured German chemical weapons following the end of World War II. Background In the aftermath of the Nazi defeat in World War II, the occupying allies found large amounts of stockpiled German chemical weapons.
