This is the proceedure for keelhauling: The guilty party would be stripped of clothing and a rope would be passed under the ship from port to starboard. The man's hands would then be secured to the rope . Often his legs would also be bound together to prevent him from swimming. He was never weighted down in any way, for this may prevent him from hitting the bottom of the ship. He would then be tossed overboard and a selected group of men would then attempt to the pull the man out of the water, by passing him under the boat and out the other side. The punishment was often fatal, due to the length of time submerged, banging and bashing against the barnacle-covered hull and the resultant cuts and abrasions, and the presence of sharks that ALWAYS accompanied sailing ships. Compared to this, water-boarding is a picnic.

Keel hauling was meant as a severe punishment rather than a means to gather information.
