Equator Crossing Ceremony – Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 36 – Video
In the YouTube video titled “Equator Crossing Ceremony – Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 36”, the crew of the Delos sail across the Halmahera Sea and prepare for the equator crossing ceremony. Crossing the equator is a significant event for sailors and marks their transition from pollywogs to shellbacks. The crew is put on trial by Neptune for their “crimes against the sea”, and they must plead their innocence or face the penalties. This ceremony is both a morale booster and a hazing ritual for sailors.
