I have been going to sea for 30 years, The story I was told by an old captain 20 years ago was that, when a ship sank or never made port again and everyone knew they were lost at sea, people looked for someone to blame so they blamed Davy Jones, a name given to the Devil by sailors so the Devil could have an identity they could understand.
The Davey Jones arc was a briiliant mashup of mythology. Greek and pirate myth joined with terrifying and in the end, a remakably relatable tale. Who didnt feel for Jones as he died?
@@KaedenScowcroft Well, it might be possible to see him again in the next movie. And this speculation is based on the current last movie's canon events.
There's a lot of speculation surrounding the Flying Dutchman. Some say it's a story that originated in the seventeenth or eighteenth century, others say it originated from the nineteenth century. In all cases the ship and its crew come from the Dutch Golden Age aka the seventeenth century. One version of the legend features indeed Van der Decken, who was cursed to forever sail the seas because he wanted to sail out from either Amsterdam or Texel not just during a storm but also on Easter Day, a holy day. The headstrong captain supposedly would have said, when his crewmen warned him about Easter and the storm: "I don't care. I will sail, storm or no storm, Easter or no Easter, if it be until Judgment Day. I will sail!" With these words he earned the yre of God, who cursed him. The ship would turn black, it's sails red, it's crew and captain ghostly and it'd be embedded in a glow of sort. Though it kept flying the Dutch flag, which is how it earned its name. In this version the crew never find peace, and will cause storms and bring misfortune on any ship that sees it. In the versions where Van der Decken is cursed by not God but the devil, he is able to set foot on land every seven years, and told that the curse would be lifted if indeed a woman would love him. Back at home, Van der Deckens wife eventually learned what happened to her husband, and sacrificed herself by throwing herself into the waves to prove her love for him and break the curse, and the ship and crew finally found peace.
I remember owning a old book abt it. Think it was just called 'de vliegende Hollander' or the flying Dutchman in English. In it its the version of Van der Decken sailing out on Easter, and thus cursing himself. His wife knew abt his plan and even stood on the rocks, watching as his ship got cursed. Instead of needing true love, Van der Decken needed a piece of wood from his ship, Den Hollander, he gave his wife before he set sail. She kept it as part of het necklace, as a locket (probably not the right word). She died later on, and the locket was passed to their son, who was told by his mother to not become a sailor. The son, Flip iirc, ignored that warning and tried to get the locket to his dad. He encounters the Dutchman several times, every time a disaster happens, and Flip is the only survivor. After 3 or 4 encounters Flip finally gets on board of the Dutchman, and together with his father he lifts the curse. Or atleast thats how i remember it. Lost the book a few years ago
Little fun fact is the Karken actually dates back to Greek mythology! It's parents were Titans of the ocean. When the God's defeated the Titans, they entombed the Kraken to the deep. Only they could unleash or contain it.
That's interesting. Such fantastic things happen when the Greek gods (at least the ones before Mount Olympus) reproduce. What would happen if Thanatos made babies with Gaia, Nyx, and or Aphrodite?
Well, like most cultures we share similar stories. Only differences are the times. Greeks held their power before and slightly after Christ was born. As for the Norse, they grew to power after 600 A.D.
I love learning about sailor’s superstitions. Don’t paint your boat blue. Don’t have a banana on board. Sea monsters and ghost ships. It makes it seem like the world is still wild, untamable, and undiscovered,
A more scary version of the Flying Dutchman is that when it sailed trough the deadly storm, the weather suddenly turned calm. From the sky a message from God was heard to warn Van der Decken that he should return to port. But Van der Decken wanted to continue sailing so bad, that he ignored God and shot with his pistol to the sky and said he would sail even if it was until judgement day. Than the weather turned into a storm again. The First Mate of the Dutchman begged Van der Decken to alter course, but Van der Decken became angry and threw the First Mate over board. And then the most scarierst thing happened. The Dutchman became cursed with a deadly form (dark hull and blood red sails). And while Van der Decken was navigating the Dutchman trough the storm, it is said that next to him stood the Devil himself as if it was his new First Mate.
I always thought Davy Jones was a famous myth all because of Nickelodeon's SpongeBob also has Davy Jones as character. Though, I wonder what inspired SpongeBob Davy Jones, most probably was also from POTC I reckon.
@alphito, nope. Just looked into it. The Flying Dutchman made his first appearance on Spongebob in 1999, 7 years before Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. The episode was S1 E11 ‘Squidward The Unfriendly Ghost.’ Also, he’s called The Flying Dutchman on the show.
His name is The Flying Dutchman, he's essentially just a powerful ghost who likes to scare people. Davy Jones is canonically a different entity from Dutchie.
@@Constantine_Cvl8 NO WONDER He's Called The Flying Dutchman Because He Always Says: I AM THE FLYING DUTCHMAN I May Hate Spongebob BUT The FLYING DUTCHMAN And The Potc Ship Will Always Be Favorite Characters Lol I Can IMAGINE These Two FIGHTING Over Who The Actual Dutchman Is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like it, that when you talked about Hendrik van der Decken, you showed a picture of Willem van der Decken, who is the captain of the Flying Dutchman in a rollercoaster, themed around the legend, which is at the dutch themepark Efteling
Interesting I had previously just assumed that "Davy Jones Locker" was just a reference toward the bottom of the ocean as a final burial for already dead/drowned sailors.
I was a deckhand on a subsea vessel for a little over a year, doing six week trips onboard. We didn't go to port, instead we were supplied offshore, and after 5 or so weeks i have no problem believing sailors who claimed to see things in the distance. Let alone if they had been at sea for months. Clouds looked unmistakenly like shorelines, to the point i asked fellow crewmembers if we had moved closer to land. Some could easily be mistaken for ships as well
One of the most terrifying things to me is not just that we barely know what is under the water in our own times, imagine what creatures have existed down there over the millions of years we've had life on earth.
There was a rumor I heard once; the next pirates of the Caribbean movie was going to show how Davey Jones became cursed, show Sparrow and Jone crossing paths in a flashback and would've hade Bloom and Depp team up again to take on Davey Jones. As for the theories; I'm thinking it's a combination of a few theories while playing the original version of the telephone game. Remember; fisherman tell tales and have been know for tall tales. So tall tales over time will eventually become something different. So I'm thinking the 1st inspiration came from Jonas and the big fish and it became just a changed story between two people possibly drunk and someone like the story so much they told a version to their kids as an example. And someone else turned it into a cautionary tale for the seas.
I finally had some time to check out this video and it is absolutely fascinating to learn about the origins of Davy Jones. You had my full attention while you got into the myths, legends, and theories behind this mysterious figure
You know it’s plausible to think that the name Davy Jones came from British propaganda regarding pirates. I like to think of it more practically, maybe naval officers warned unruly sailors by simply stating they’d be sent to the locker on a count of them being disobedient. Hence is why I find it interesting that some of the first original accounts of this began in 1727, the golden age of piracy. Yet again though, from an archeological standpoint, we often find that some things are often not as casual as we consider them to be. I’d take a gander and say that Davy Jones was a legend from early enlightenment or late renaissance naval stories. Old Christianity has a habit of making subtle remarks to the devil or malicious spirits so by invoking Davy Jones as a pseudonym for the devil could likely be a case in which sailors (particularly Scottish Catholics) mentioned his name and legends alike while on long voyages. Pretty soon you got your average British sailor beginning to refer to the legend as well and then it becomes widely regarded as a common tale. I’d be interested to see what the evidence is though of the first written documents of Davy Jones though to understand more about this.
Ive always been fascinated with davy jones,,ive always seen him as the best in the POTB franchise,,i never know there was a real back story or myth around him
Part of the crew part of the ship. This is a phrase some co workers, especially key crew (captain, Chief Engineer, etc.) would say simply because they pay is great and you can’t really be a captain in a Walgreens. On board my ship actually
In regards to the flying Dutchman. The sea is a funny thing. You can see reflections of reflections. And this can be multiple times. Theoretically, you can be on the west coast of the U.S. and see a reflection off the coast of East Africa. A lot of thing would have to line up. So. You could see a Frigate reflection thousands of miles away. This also goes into the "ship in the air" And the sea is not the only place this happens. It can happen in flat desert also. Both is caused by the reflection of water and water vapor.
As a welshman there are no stories about dewi sant (saint david) being linked to davey jones we have many myths and legands about giants and dragons nymphs and outher magical creatures but nothing about davey jones but david or dai is a very common welsh name and jones a very popular second name so who could say
@TheSEAempire it's funny I found this because I'm in the process of writing an origin backstory for Davy Jones. It doesn't necessarily correlate to Pirates of the Caribbean but in a way it does. Once I get it completed, I'd love to send you a copy of it! If you would like to read it! :) Fun fact by the way, my real dad's name is David Jones and most of his friends call him Davy Jones haha.
In the movie Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest, pirate Davy Jones is the captain of the Flying Dutchman pirate ship. (In the movie it was a ghost ship). Because the entire ship and crew including the Captain himself were bewitched. Because he refused to love the woman who loved him. The woman said she could see it in his heart. On a voyage he broke his promise. His heart was locked in a casket as punishment for not keeping his promise. And at night they were cursed. (In the movie, the woman he refused to love with his heart was a sorceress, in her true form she was a sea monster, (a giant monster octopus) that sank ships, call name: "Kraken)". The curse was: They were ghosts with animal features and resembled sea animals. The difference was that they were Animal/Human Hybrids. In the film, the woman called herself: Calypso.
I was just a kid but... I thought Davie Jones Locker was named after the Monkies lead singer and his locker stunk like dirty socks.. Go a head and laugh ..but I really thought that ..Didn't know all the real early history on the subject.Just thought of it as a big joke..Thank you for the history lesson❤❤❤
Just like in science, the simplest explanations for myths and historical mysteries usually prove true in the end. For example, the City of Troy was eventually found right where Homer said it was. So, I'd favor that the phrase "Davy Jones Locker," originally referred to the pirate David Jones, until definitively proved otherwise. It also makes sense because Jones predates the Golden Age of Piracy. This would give him years to grow to legendary status in the minds of later and more famous pirates who would actually utter the phrase "Davy Jones Locker."
This was an Incredible Masterpiece for My All Time Favorite Antagonist’s in The Pirates of The Caribbean Trilogy, My All Time Favorite Disney Villain and My All Time Favorite Role for Bill Nighy.
what amazes me is how the mythos of Davy Jones had absolutely zero intersection with the Flying Duchman mythos until these movies, and now they are inseparable
It was customary to place coins upon the eyes of the dead for payment for the boat man to ferry the soul to the afterlife. A boatman was a volunteer usually a captain who would command a ship in order to cheat death or prolong the consequences of dying so that they would be able to still be close to their loved ones until both could die together. A contract of some sort. Davey was tricked into servitude by Colipso the Goddess of the sea and she never met him upon his short time when he’d be granted to walk upon land and embrace. She broke his heart and the pain was so much he had his crew remove it.
Also great thumbnail, good contrast, pop, strong eyes from Davy, and you didn't let Davy completely blend in with the bg which is similar in color to Davys character. Niceeeee. Good color contrast on the word monster and the lettering is a bit thick and not too stylized which helps with reading.
the flying dutchman was started in 1641. when a Dutch ship sank off the coast of the cape of good hope. I literally just looked it up. and Davey Jones is from a book in 1726
Davy Jones locker is not sending someone to hell. It is sending someone to the bottom of the ocean. It's the abyss of the ocean. Sailors who died on the ship would be put over board and sent to Davey Jones locker. People walking the plank and mutinies where maybe the captain is stabbed or something before walking the plank. Long and short it's only used it means the sea.
Dude did you take "Cold and cruel like winds on the sea" straight from the fan made song on Nightcore with a picture of Davy Jones as an anime girl? You did, didn't you? Cold and cruel like winds on the sea, will you ever return to me? Hear my voice sing with the tide. My love will never die. Over waves and deep in the blue, i will give up my heart for you. Ten long years I'll wait to go by. My love will never die. Come my love, be one with the sea, rule with me for eternity. Drown all dreams so mercilessly and leave their souls to me. Play the song you sang long ago and wherever the storm may blow, you will find the keys to my heart, we'll never be apart. Wild and strong, you can't be contained, never bound nor ever chained. Wounds you caused will never mend and you will never end.
Never forget the Evil entity with the name of PLANKTON residing in the Dark and Evil Fortress of THE CHUM BUCKET deep down under the Sea… gives me goosebumps just thinking of it
I think how it all started was back in the day. There was a fearsome pirate named Davy Jones. And was the captain of the flying Dutchman. And had a mutiny by his own crew and made him sleep with the fishes
Something else to think about is that the squids most likely to be hunted and successfully killed by predators are the smallest ones. So it is completely possible that the size of the largest squids could reach near 100 feet.
He didn't carve his heart out cause of guilt he did it cause he loved her, truely loved her, he carved his heart out cause she wasn't there that one day and it broke his heart. He carved out his heart cause it hurt to much.
Legends are usually rooted in some measure of truth. Squids can climb on land. Someone waking up on a ship to a giant squid grabbing them and seeing their friends being grabbed as well and pulled overboard would be terrifying.☠️☠️☠️☠️
I did not see that Jonah connexion coming... but I can follow the line of thinking. Not to mention that in close proximity (by pages in the bible) a large seeborne creature is described - the Leviathan.
I always thought it was strange that Davy Jones got stood up by Calypso on the one day he could go on land. She's the goddess of the oceans. She could go see him at any time he was at sea. Arguably, the one day she wouldn't would be the one day he'd be on land.
Could’ve been Welsh sailors saying “Davy Jones!” The same way Irish people say “Jesus Murphy” as Jones is a common Welsh surname and David is the patron saint of Wales

yeah cause just saying the Devil would have been hard to follow
Aye that is true Smokey.That be coming from a Sailor at 19yrs old .Now 65.

ah yes, The Flying Dutchman. the worlds most infamous legend of the seas. always an incredible story and concept
Pirates of the Caribbean Kraken is probably the absolute best kraken.
Especially with that fantastic mouth which Captain Jack tried to stab.
Eventually, the term or phrase "Davey Jones's Locker" became synonymous with the Deep Dark Crushing Depths of the Ocean Floor.

Just one point of correction, Jonah did not go because he felt they deserved to be destroyed, he ran out of fear.
I always wondered what the lead singer of the Monkeys had to do with 18th century pirates.
I like how you used a sea of thieves theme. This plays when u release flame heart
Also great thumbnail, good contrast, pop, strong eyes from Davy, and you didn't let Davy completely blend in with the bg which is similar in color to Davys character. Niceeeee. Good color contrast on the word monster and the lettering is a bit thick and not too stylized which helps with reading.
Yeah my friend makes all my thumbnails and this is easily my favorite of his work
@@TheSEAempire Yeah good stuff, banger of a thumb for sure.
I heard davy jones name everywhere having to do with pirates. Never before i watched dead man's chest have i seen such a good dipiction of him.
The ship sightings sound a lot like UFO sightings to me... Especially the red glow around the distant ship.
1:20 “absolute fucking unit” u got me bro. Loved it!
In the 90's, The show Xena: Warrior Princess jad an episode based off the Flying Dutchman myth. Just wanted to share that fun fact
Same man that played Victor in Underworld 😊
the flying dutchman was started in 1641. when a Dutch ship sank off the coast of the cape of good hope. I literally just looked it up. and Davey Jones is from a book in 1726
Rewatched the movies weeks ago loved it especially Davy Jones so really cool video
Davy Jones locker is not sending someone to hell. It is sending someone to the bottom of the ocean. It's the abyss of the ocean.
Sailors who died on the ship would be put over board and sent to Davey Jones locker.
People walking the plank and mutinies where maybe the captain is stabbed or something before walking the plank.
Long and short it's only used it means the sea.
I appreciate the Sea Of Thieves music aha
They need to make a battle between Davy Jone's Kraken and Moby Dick.
I love the POTC film series’s. I heard that JD is coming back at JS? I pray he does.
So much content!!
Dude did you take "Cold and cruel like winds on the sea" straight from the fan made song on Nightcore with a picture of Davy Jones as an anime girl?
You did, didn't you?
Cold and cruel like winds on the sea, will you ever return to me? Hear my voice sing with the tide. My love will never die.
Over waves and deep in the blue, i will give up my heart for you.
Ten long years I'll wait to go by. My love will never die.
Come my love, be one with the sea, rule with me for eternity.
Drown all dreams so mercilessly and leave their souls to me.
Play the song you sang long ago and wherever the storm may blow, you will find the keys to my heart, we'll never be apart.
Wild and strong, you can't be contained, never bound nor ever chained. Wounds you caused will never mend and you will never end.
Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is great collection 💯💯
da sea of thieves music in the background lmao
great video dude :D
Thank you!
I wish there was an actual Mythology that near perfectly matches these Pirates Of The Caribbean movies.
Never forget the Evil entity with the name of PLANKTON residing in the Dark and Evil Fortress of THE CHUM BUCKET deep down under the Sea…
gives me goosebumps just thinking of it
I think how it all started was back in the day. There was a fearsome pirate named Davy Jones. And was the captain of the flying Dutchman. And had a mutiny by his own crew and made him sleep with the fishes
The sighting of the Flying Dutchman is up there with the sightings of Sasquatch, the Loch Ness monster, UFOs, and so on.
Bro how do you produce content this good and only have 1k subs you deserve at least a million
Thanks!
Something else to think about is that the squids most likely to be hunted and successfully killed by predators are the smallest ones. So it is completely possible that the size of the largest squids could reach near 100 feet.
He didn't carve his heart out cause of guilt he did it cause he loved her, truely loved her, he carved his heart out cause she wasn't there that one day and it broke his heart. He carved out his heart cause it hurt to much.
Great job.
Its sucks that he was named Davy Jones, even though epic name, the true Dutchman Captain is Van der Decken they couldve atleast used a dutch name
Something that would have been cool: Davy Jones appearing aboard the Dutchman and killing Van Der Decken and claiming the ship as his own.
@@TheSEAempire EXACTLY or like a backstory of him taking over and freeing Van Der Decken of his curse
The Patron Saint David of Whales is the archetype for Davey Jones.
Some often missed details of the Flying Dutchman: it's said to fly / hover, and also sails directly into the wind at all times 🇳🇱
Now, we even found alive giant squids swimming in the ocean caught on deep sea cameras
The Canadian silver Krakens have developed a beautiful tone.
Great video! You kind of sound like Neil Degrasse Tyson haha
Thanks haha
thanks for the video
Did I hear the SoT Kraken music when you talked about it? xD
I felt compelled to check out these myths which inspires movies
Interesting theories about the pop culture villain, Davy Jones.
I like how he put a bunch of sea of thieves tracks and sounds throughout the video
Cool Info
the best pirate other then jack him self and the best C.G.I even by todays standers
Legends are usually rooted in some measure of truth.
Squids can climb on land.
Someone waking up on a ship to a giant squid grabbing them and seeing their friends being grabbed as well and pulled overboard would be terrifying.☠️☠️☠️☠️
Giant squids are 60ft. One found was as long as a city bus or greyhound bus.
I did not see that Jonah connexion coming... but I can follow the line of thinking.
Not to mention that in close proximity (by pages in the bible) a large seeborne creature is described - the Leviathan.
I always thought it was strange that Davy Jones got stood up by Calypso on the one day he could go on land. She's the goddess of the oceans. She could go see him at any time he was at sea. Arguably, the one day she wouldn't would be the one day he'd be on land.
I remmeber reading a lot Of him From School times in the Nederlands ,
the flying Dutchman , Being Part of the history of The Nederlands
Sea of thief music spotted in the background
I am a sucker for that soundtrack haha
Very good content btw c: you deserve more subs
Thank you!
Could’ve been Welsh sailors saying “Davy Jones!” The same way Irish people say “Jesus Murphy” as Jones is a common Welsh surname and David is the patron saint of Wales
Love the Sea of Thieves music in the background!
SpongeBob: "I Don't Care If You're The Demon Seed Of Davy Jones. You're Going Down Tubby"🤣
