@mightysprite It’s a phrase that refers to Davy Jones and the dark depths he comes from.
“Davy Jones's 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.”
From Wikipedia but a good enough summary of the place.
As for who Davy Jones is, he’s often a malevolent spirit of the sea that is similar to a Devil of the Sea. Stories were spread about him long before anything was written down. There isn’t a clear origin for him. Sailors and Pirates had a tendency to not talk about him because of old superstitions. I guess the combination of tales told by word of mouth instead of getting written down has made exactly who he is a bit of a mystery.
The Duppy in Bantu Mythology seems to pop up across multiple sources. It’s possible that this spirit influenced the depictions of Davy Jones.
