keelhauling
Walking the plank is a form of execution popularly (but incorrectly) believed to have been widely practiced by pirates. As usually described, it involved the victim being forced to walk off the end of a wooden plank or beam extended over the side of a ship, thereby falling into the water to drown, sometimes with bound hands, and/or in shark-infested waters (these predators often follow a ship). In fact, there is no evidence of this practice ever being widespread, and it seems more likely that victims were simply thrown over the side of the ship. It has, however, become a major part of modern imaginings of pirates, and is frequently depicted in literature and films. It is thought to have first been popularized in the novel Peter Pan.
It should not be confused with the well-documented naval keelhaulingCliff.
