Current Goal

 

This geocoin represents a very respectful attempt to remember the lives and families of every freshwater mariner who challenged the untamed natural forces of the Great Lakes and lost everything.  Its mission is to visit a large number of shoreline caches in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York and be photographed on/with/against Great Lakes vessels of every type and function. The biggest challenge is to photograph the coin with/against any variation of a Great Lakes untamed natural force. 

About This Item

 

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's Locker), whereas the name Davy Jones is a nickname for what would be the devil, saint, or god 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.
