This episode of Deep Blue Diaries is taking you straight into the heart of some serious Ghost Ship Mysteries. We’re diving deep into the legend of Davy Jones, the ultimate sea devil you've seen in Pirates of the Caribbean—but there’s way more to his story than Hollywood lets on. Ever heard of Davy Jones' Locker? Spoiler: it's not where you want to end up. And then there's the Flying Dutchman, the most infamous of all ghost ships, cursed to sail the seas forever. I’m breaking down the gritty, spooky truth behind these legends and why they still give people chills. If you’re into ghost ships, blue true crime, dark ocean lore, and stories that make you want to leave the lights on, this is your episode. Let’s dive in—if you dare.

Show notes:
Today’s show opener was an excerpt from John Boyle O’Reilly’s song “Songs of the Southern Seas” written in 1873.
If you’d like to read the The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle by Tobias Smollett, written in 1751, or the The four years voyages of Capt. George Roberts written in 1725, both some of the earliest mentions of Davy Jones in print, or the book “Travels in various part of Europe, Asia and Africa during a series of thirty years and upward by John MacDonald, published in (1790) containing the the first known mention of the Flying Dutchman in print, I have put the full bucks in the Deep Blue Diaries Library and Patreon page.
