Davy Jones' locker is a locker full of smelly gym socks. It is associated with the Flying Dutchman and appears in the episodes "Born Again Krabs," "SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One," and "The Curse of Bikini Bottom."
Description
Davy Jones' locker is just a regular gym locker that is filled with smelly socks. In the episodes it seems to have green goo at the bottom of it. The purpose of it is to torture whoever is in it but it is most likely a notorious bad place for sea creatures.
Folklore
The legend of "Davy Jones' locker" has existed in nautical folklore for many years, the first record being in 1726. In actual folklore, "Davy Jones' locker" is a phrase meant to refer to the bottom of the sea, where drowned sailors and wrecked ships end up. The name "Davy Jones" is likely a reference to the ghost of Jonah, the biblical figure who was swallowed by a giant fish, and was released by God after praying to be rescued. However, SpongeBob SquarePants takes a different route, and uses the Monkees singer of the same name.

- The only two people seen taken to Davy Jones' locker are Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob in "Born Again Krabs," but neither were put inside it.
- If Davy Jones was the official owner of Davy Jones' locker, that would mean that as of "SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One" The Flying Dutchman stole Davy Jones' Locker from Davy Jones.
- The locker from "Squidward in Clarinetland" is shorter and a bit fatter in that episode. However, they are two separate lockers and could have been forged from different places.
