What is Keel hauling?

The term is a from the Dutch word 'kielhalen' referring to being dragged along the keel of a ship as a form of punishment at sea (1500's to 1800's).

Although it was practiced in the navy, keel hauling is strongly associated with pirate lore. A pirate being punished was tied to a rope, lowered into the water, and dragged underneath the ship from one end to the other.
