form of punishment practised at sea during the 15th and 16th centuries. A line was rigged from one yardarm under the hull of the vessel and up to the opposite yardarm. The culprit was then hoisted up one side, dropped into the sea and hauled down and under the hull and up to the yardarm on the other side. Today sometimes used to imply a severe punishment.
