Throughout
history there has always been a ceremony
performed onboard a
ship crossing
the equator
where those who had never done that before
are "sacrificed"
to King Neptune and must "kiss a fish" |
|
|
On
this day crew members played the parts of King Neptune and his
court
as well as those chosen to be "sacrificed"
