Answer 2

What Does Salty Dog Mean

Answer 3

I found this in a google search:

An "old salt" is simply an older sailor with a lifetime of experience aboard ship, well-versed in the skills of seamanship and often also described as "crusty" (which is usually just a euphemism for "cranky"). "Salt" has been used as a synonym for "experienced sailor" since the mid-1800s by allusion to salt water and the salt spray which covers everything aboard ship.

"Salty dog" means essentially the same thing as "old salt," a veteran and often aging sailor. "Salty dog" is probably based on another term, "sea dog," again meaning a sailor with years of experience. The term "sea-dog," by the way, originally was applied to the seals sailors often encountered.

Answer 4

The old time sailors.
There is a reason for the name. In the olden times the only way they could keep things from spoiling in long journeys was to store them in salt. Hence the term "salty" dog.
