Disclaimer: This site does not condone whipping
and flogging and it does not advocate the use of, or the return to corporal

Flogging, Whipping, Scourging, Lashing,
Caning; These are all different names to what is perhaps the oldest
form of corporal punishment. Over the centuries, whipping has
taken various forms: From the ritual of the British Naval Flogging
on one hand to the vigilante Horse-whipping of the old American West on
the other. Other versions included the public flogging at the colonial
whipping post or the carnival-like atmosphere of the medieval goal in the
town square.
This site is simply a forum for the depiction
of historically accurate scenes of Floggings and Whippings. The first
gallery of these scenes were self-drawn and were derived from such literary
sources as: "Sea Life In Nelson's Time" by John Masefield;
"Red
Hannah- Delaware's Whipping Post" by Robert Caldwell; "Flagellation-
The Story of Corporal Punishment" by G.R. Scott; Mutiny and Romance
in the South Seas by Sven Wahlroos; Rack, Rope, and Red-Hot
Pincers by Geoffrey Abbott; and "Under The Lash- A History
of Corporal Punishment in the British Armed Forces" by Scott Claver.
The second gallery is a collection of illustrations,
engravings, and photographs taken from the above listed sources as well
as the following: The London Dungeon Book Of Crime And Punishment
by Richard Byrne; Gone For A Soldier by Victor Neuburg; Hell
And Paradise- The Norfolk, Bounty, Pitcairn Saga by Peter Clarke;
and various historical web sites on the internet.
A Word Of Caution: The scenes contained
in these links attempt to realistically depict the violent, brutal event
that a flogging or whipping actually was. The victims shown in these
drawings, illustrations, and photographs are all able-bodied, mature men.
