well, I watched the first movie again, English version, and I was really astonished that Davy Jones was mentioned 2 times
(it's not in the German version ^^)

1) Will (on the Black Pearl making the bargain with Barbossa to free Liz) : ... Or I'll pull that trigger and be down in Davy Jones' locker!

2) Pintel (telling Will the story of Bootstrap Bill): Last we saw of old Bill Turner, he was sinking into the crushin' black oblivion of Davy Jones' locker.


sooo, here comes my question:

Davy Jones is a general known synoym for the sea itself?

So if I was Will I wouldn't be very surprised to find my father on Davy Jones' ship when he was sent to Davy Jones locker before ^^

confusing thing... for me, aye

Davy Jones locker is a idiom for the bottom of the sea - The resting place of dead seamen. (Wikipedia).

Davy Jones is a nickname used by sailors of old, for what could be the devil of the seas.

..

that's really weird its not in the german version.

but i guess it just like a name. like when people are lost to the sea they call it davy jones locker. they didnt know it was necessarily a place. ilke when jack asks will in the 2nd one 'how much do you know about davy jones?' and he said 'not much' he obviously didnt know it was a place, so i guess it wouldnt occur to him that his father would be there. plus, i doubt he'd recognize him since he died when he was so young, he wouldnt really remember him.

There wass a whole legend back then of Davy Jones..being in control of the sea or something like that..so if you died at sea you would be lost to his sea...if that make sense

hmmm...
thank you all ^^

I'm wondering,... How did the name "Davy Jones" come into play??
I mean back then they could have also called it something else, like 'seaman's abyss' or 'Jone's navy of the sea'
Anyways, WHY DAVY JONES???

idk, just a myth. theres proally some reason for it. go research.

I'll wait til skool starts. Besides who knows what they'll make me look up!! lol

haha. i'm with you there.
