Keelhauling
Aug 19 2007, 9:34 PM EDT Everything that I have read has stated that keelhauling was athwartships and not fore to aft. Keelhauling could be survived with the maximum times set to three. Being plunged into cold water and scraped against a barnacles on the ship's bottom would not be survivable fore to aft. Too long. Athwartships could be. For the athwartships portion, I reference the Navy Historical Center's Traditions... of the Naval Service page, http://www.history.navy.mil/trivia/trivia03.htm. 7 out of 9 found this valuable. Do you? |
