Davy Jones' Locker

Davy Jones' Locker is a nautical metaphor for the sea's depths where shipwrecked sailors and sunken vessels are believed to rest forever. Originating from maritime folklore, it symbolizes death at sea and the idea of an underwater grave. The phrase often appears in stories, movies, and literature to evoke the peril and mystery associated with oceanic dangers. It’s not a literal place but a poetic way to refer to the hidden, often dangerous world beneath the ocean's surface.
