Step back in time to the age of sail and delve into a fascinating, albeit stern, aspect of maritime history. This artwork depicts keelhauling, a historical form of naval punishment primarily used in some European navies, particularly the Dutch, from the 16th to 18th centuries.
This severe disciplinary measure involved a sailor being lowered from one side of a ship and then strategically guided beneath the vessel's hull, passing under the rough, often barnacle-encrusted keel, before being brought up on the opposite side. It was a practice intended to address serious offenses, serving as a stark reminder of the rigorous discipline and harsh realities that defined life at sea during that bygone era.
This piece aims to illustrate this notable historical practice, inviting viewers to reflect on the unique challenges and tough systems of justice prevalent aboard ships centuries ago.
