Crossing the Equator Pollywog to Shellback -a shipwide celebration happens each time the ship crosses. This was my first time to cross from a ship. We were to kiss the fish and jump in the water but I have a fever so opted to kiss the fish tail and not jump in the water🧜🏻‍♀️. They baptized me with sea water over the head🤣 | Kelly Smith

Sailors aboard USS Saratoga celebrate their first crossing of the Equator with a traditional Shellback ceremony in January 1929. The lighthearted naval rite, marking the transition from “Pollywog” to “Shellback,” has bonded generations of sailors across the seven seas. #USSSaratoga #USNavy #Shellback #EquatorCrossing #NavalTradition | The Reliable Narrator

Well, darlings… I’ve been keeping a little secret 🤭 Turns out, I was a pollywog! (I know, shocking—sounds like an exotic cocktail, but sadly, no gin involved.) For those who don’t know, a pollywog is someone who’s never crossed the Equator by sea. Scandalous! But don’t worry, my fabulous voyage aboard @cunardline Queen Anne has officially changed that. And what a momentous occasion it was! Not only did I become a true Shellback, but it was also the Queen Anne’s first-ever crossing of the line!

According to Navy folklore, King Neptune, god of the sea, “appears” to grant sailors the title of Shellback (or “Son of Neptune”) after they endure playful hazing rituals.
