7 Brutal Punishments Sailors Feared

Life at sea was dangerous — and discipline could be brutal.

From bread and water confinement to running the gauntlet, marooning, flogging, hanging from the yardarm, and the nightmare of keelhauling, sailors faced punishments meant to control entire crews through fear.

Some were common. Some were rare. All were a reminder that life aboard a ship was harsh, unforgiving, and sometimes horrific.

Ranked from harsh to horrific.

Trimming the Mainsail

The traveler and the mainsheet work dynamically together. Both move the boom inwards and outwards from the centerline of the boat. The difference is that the mainsheet also lets the aft of the boom move up and down and thus loosening or tightening the leech (aft) of the sail. Thus they both need to be finessed together to achieve mainsail efficiency. This efficiency and the set of the mainsail depends largely on the wind strength at the moment. ⛵️
