Sailors were punished in numerous ways during the Tudor times, the most common was applied if the sailos were caught fraternising with other ships.

What is the water in the bottom of the boat called?
IN larger boats, the area at the very bottom of the boat is called the "bilge", and the water there is sometimes called "bilge water". To get rid of it, sailors use bilge pumps to pump the water over the side and out of the boat. For smaller boats that don't have bilge pumps, the sailors will "bail" the water out by scooping it up with any suitable container, and dumping it overboard.
