Smollett painted this word picture
| Морской словарь |
“know him by his saucer eyes, his three rows of rotting teeth and tail, and the blue smoke which comes out of his nostrils.” the origin of the legend is obscure, but the name seems to have originated in the caribbean during the 17th century and probably comes from “duffy” a west indian slave word for ghost or devil and “jonah” referring to the biblical bringer of ill fortune at sea. hence davy jones means ghost of jonah. davy jones’ locker: the ocean floor was davy’s storage place or locker, the destination of all things jettisoned and final resting place of people drowned or buried at sea. (it has been suggested that this phrase originated independently of the fiend’s name and is a corruption of deva lokka, the hindu goddess of death.) seamen believed that davy could not keep the bodies of truly devout christians sealed in his locker, having to relinquish their souls to mother carey’s chickens who carried them to fiddler’s green, but this conflicts with the albatross superstition.

Day of departure, английский
Ancient maritime superstition held that no voyage should begin on a biblically inauspicious day, but should preferably be deferred until the omens were favorable. [1] the first monday in april was a no-no, being both cain’s birthday and the day on which he killed his brother abel. [2] any friday was especially ill-omened, because that was supposedly the day on which jesus was crucified. an old seafarer’s rhyme says: on a friday she was launched on a friday she set sail on a friday met a storm and was lost in the gale [3] on the other hand, december 31 was considered lucky, since that is when the bible says judas escariot hanged himself. [4] and, drawing from pre–christian belief, wednesday was propitious since it is named after and dedicated to wotan (odin), erroneously believed to have been the viking protector of seafarers (actually he was chief of all the gods and the seafarers’ guardian was njord).
Date line, английский
