The phrase "Sixteen men on a dead man's chest" is the opening line of the famous pirate song from Robert Louis Stevenson's novel "Treasure Island." It evokes imagery of piracy, adventure, and the grim realities of life at sea. The line has become iconic in popular culture, often associated with themes of treasure hunting and the lawlessness of pirate life. The full verse continues with the refrain "Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!" adding to its legendary status.
