what the story of Davy Jones?

Question

pirate

Answer 1

The earliest known reference to Davy Jones's negative connotation occurs in The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle by Tobias Smollett, published in 1751:

This same Davy Jones, according to sailors, is the fiend that presides over all the evil spirits of the deep, and is often seen in various shapes, perching among the rigging on the eve of hurricanes, ship-wrecks, and other disasters to which sea-faring life is exposed, warning the devoted wretch of death and woe.
He is described in the same story as having saucer eyes, three rows of teeth, horns, a tail, and blue smoke coming from his nostrils.
In 1824, Washington Irving mentions Jones's name in his "Adventures of the Black Fisherman.":

He came, said he, in a storm, and he went in a storm; he came in the night, and he went in the night; he came nobody knows whence, and he has gone nobody knows where. For aught I know he has gone to sea once more on his chest, and may land to bother some people on the other side of the world; though it is a thousand pities, added he, if he has gone to Davy Jones's locker.
The exact origin of "Davy Jones" is unclear, and many explanations have been proposed. David Jones was a pirate on the Indian Ocean in the 1630s,but most scholars agree that he was not famous enough to gain such lasting global fame. Sources have cited the British pub owner who is referenced in the 1594 song "Jones's Ale is Newe." He may be the same pub owner who supposedly threw drunken sailors into his ale locker and then dumped them onto any passing ship.[2] He could also be Duffer Jones, a notoriously myopic sailor who often found himself overboard.
Others have suggested more supernatural meanings. Some believe the name came from Welsh sailors who would call upon Saint David for protection in times of mortal danger. Some also think it is just another name for the devil.Some call him Deva, Davy or Taffy, the thief of the evil spirit. Some think Jonah became the "evil angel" of all sailors, as the biblical story of Jonah involved his shipmates realizing Jonah was an unlucky sailor and cast him overboard. Naturally, sailors of previous centuries would identify more with the beset-upon shipmates of Jonah than with the unfortunate man himself. It is therefore a possibility that "Davy Jones" grew from the root "Devil Jonah" - the devil of the seas. Upon death, a wicked sailor's body supposedly went to Davy Jones's locker (a chest, as lockers were back then), but a holy sailor's soul went to Fiddler's Green.
Davy may come from Duppy, a West Indian term for a malevolent ghost, or from Saint David, also known as Dewi, the patron saint of Wales, while Jones may have come from the prophet Jonah,whose story is considered bad luck for sailors. Some also believe that the name Davy could come from the word "Daeva" which is an evil spirit in Persian mythology that loves to cause harm and destruction.
Jones' reputation causes fear among sailors, and many refuse to discuss Davy Jones in any great detail. Not all traditions dealing with Davy Jones are fearful. In traditions associated with sailors crossing the Equatorial line, there was a "raucous and rowdy" initiation presided over by those who had crossed the line before, known as shellbacks, or Sons of Neptune. The eldest shellback was called King Neptune, and the next eldest was his assistant who was called Davy Jones.
On one particular episode of Spongebob Squarepants, The Flying Dutchman takes Mr. Krabs to "Davy Jones' Locker". It is a locker filled with sweaty socks. The Flying Dutchman threatens to lock Mr. Krabs in the locker if he does not change his ways (being greedy).

Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean)

Davy Jones as depicted in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.Davy Jones is the main villain in the film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006), played by Bill Nighy.

He appears along with his crew of half-human, half-sea creature sailors aboard The Flying Dutchman. He is portrayed as a mutated cross between a man and a squid, with a wriggling beard of tentacles and two crustacean-esque limbs, bearing a noticeable resemblance to H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu. The movie also extrapolates on the origins of Davy Jones. In the movie, the story follows that Davy Jones was once an average sailor who fell in love with a beautiful woman. When he could not have her, the pain was so much that he cut out his still beating heart, and sealed it in a chest, so that he would never have to feel love or compassion ever again. The locker itself is mentioned by Bill Turner ("Then it's the Locker for you!"), presumably indicating the bottom of the sea. In the scriptwriter's commentary on the Pirates of the Caribbean 2 DVD, one of the writers states that Davy Jones Locker is not death per se, but spending an eternity with the thing you hate/are afraid of most. This sounds like Winston's fate at the end of 1984.

Answer 2

Davy Jones Locker you mean? Well he was of course a pirate and the story goes that he plundered the ship looking for an item that was stolen from him in his younger life. He found it and hidden it in a treasure chest amongst other worthless items and sank it so he could go back to it when it was safe to do so, the only problem he died before he could go back to it. It has never been found.
