Davy Jones was a legendary pirate who was said to have been a ruthless and cruel sea captain who preyed on ships in the Caribbean. He was often depicted as having a demonic appearance, with a scraggly beard, sharp teeth, and a creepy smile. According to folklore, Davy Jones was said to have been a sailor who sold his soul to the devil, becoming the captain of the ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman. Today, the term "Davy Jones' Locker" is used as a euphemism for the bottom of the sea, where lost and forgotten ships and sailors are said to rest.
