To haul under the keel of a ship, by ropes attached to the yardarms on each side, used as a punishment.
Keel−hauling is West Indian slang for a flogging.
A pair of additional keel rails on either side of the hull, usually slanted outwards.
A historical form of punishment meted out to sailors at sea. The sailor was tied to a line that was looped beneath the vessel. Then he was thrown overboard on one side of the ship and dragged under the ship's keel. Depending on the severity of the crime, the keelhauling could be done from either one side of the ship to the other, or the length of the ship from bow to stern. If the offender was pulled quickly, keelhauling would typically result in serious injury caused by marine growth (barnacles) on the underside of the hull. If the victim was dragged slowly, his weight might lower him sufficiently to miss the barnacles, but this method would frequently result in drowning.

– A grisly death indeed. The Pirate is tied by a rope at the front of the ship at full sail. He is then kicked off and made to drag along the keel, or bottom spine of the ship, usually through the sharp barnacles clinging to the hull. It would act like a cheese grater. “Ye’ll be Keel Hauled!†would strike terror into any pirate.
