The term “Davy Jones Sleigh Ride” was popularized during the height of the Whaling Industry  during the 17th and 18th century. The term, mentioned in the book, 'Moby Dick by Herman Melville' came about as a reference to a harpoon boat having harpooned a whale. At that time the whale would sound and run, towing the harpoon boat behind it as if in a sleigh ride.Snottyboy6 (talk) 20:18, 25 September 2011 (UTC) Moby Dick, Herman Melville --~Snottyboy6
