As our ship neared this imaginary line you could feel the exhuberance of those soon to take command. For by the law of the sea on the day of the crossing all shellbacks are in full control of the ships activities. Even the captain if by his unfortunate past service has never crossed the line; then he to must relinquish command and become a low pitful pollywog. So captain, officers and crew pollywogs must prepare themselves for a most unfrogettable event. And it arrives, the moment is at hand.

it is a tradition in the U.S. Navy, for a ship to hoist the old pirate flag, the Jolly Roger, while King Neptune is aboard.

King Neptune Is Piped Aboard along with his court. A Pollywog is chosen to be his sacrificial queen.

Slimey, grimey Pollywogs infest the vessel The High Admiral Davey Jones himself arises from the depths and is piped aboard to help purge the vessel of the pestilence.
