Definition of davy jones' locker in English English dictionary: Alternative spelling of Davy Jones's locker; (deyim) Davy Jones’s Locker is an idiom for the bottom of the sea — the resting place of drowned sailors. It is used as a euphemism for death at sea (to be sent to Davy Jones' Locker). Davy Jones is a nickname for what would be the devil of the seas. The origins of the name are unclear, and many theories have been put forth, including incompetent sailors, a pub owner who kidnapped sailors, or that Davy Jones is another name for the devil – as in, “Devil Jonah”. This nautical superstition was popularized in the 1800s
Davy Jones's locker: The bottom of the ocean, especially as the grave for sailors. Also a common saying when something goes overboard and is lost
NOTE: Partridge erroneously refers to this as from the journal of Richard rather than Nicholas Cresswell.
