#Line-crossing ceremony History
The line-crossing ceremony’s history isn’t exactly family-friendly 😬 Some versions are “initiations” while others are closer to a baptism with water. Whatever version, there would be some person dressed up representing Neptune. You were considered an inexperienced sailor (pollywog) until you crossed the equator and became a shellback, and this tradition dates back to at least Captain Cook in the 1700s. “As you cross the imaginary line of the equator, an animated Neptune will come up out of the

Lydia Mullan on Instagram: "I got a haircut 😉 One major rite of passage for sailors is the line crossing ceremony for your first the equator crossing. Belem is just south of the equator, so near the end of our Transatlantic we made our offerings to Neptune. Typically the ritual includes some light hazing, a lot of silliness, and sacrifices of alcohol and your hair in exchange for safe passage. Seems like the trade was accepted, big thanks to our Neptune and Yemoja! #sailing #equator #linecrossi
