I found a site that says

When a pirate says that someone was sent to Davy Jones' Locker, it means that the person has died or drowned at the sea. It is a nautical term for the graveyard of sailors and pirates at the very bottom of the ocean.
The legend of Davy Jones was very popular among the pirates and symbolizes the horrible spirit of the deep.
To be sent to Davy's Locker - To die at the sea
To awaken Davy Jones - To cause a storm
To see you to Davy Jones - To threaten to kill someone
To be in Davy's Grip - To be close to death, or frightened.

Which means Jack is at the very bottom of the sea. Which means there is a dry land at the very bottom of the sea.

What do you think?

That's very interesting. I didn't think that phrase had so many meanings. Pirate slang in itself is so unique.
