I'm not a maritime lawyer, but, FAFO should be soon in evidence.

You can't act like an idiot on a ship without a thousand years of authoritarian law coming down on you like a one-ton anchor.

I am sure these boats have brigs.

I bet the law allows charges brought that are far worse than simple disorderly conduct or assault.

In terms of punishment, I would hope the captain could have these brigands keel-hauled.

The lash comes to mind. But, the optics would be pretty bad given the perps' status as privileged. I would settle for having a few of them walk the plank.

The Chicken Plank, as was once sold at Long John Silver's.

"keel-hauled"


I was just trying to remember what it was called when I started reading your comment...
