Brian Massey says, “In medieval London, pirates were often punished by chaining them to a wall near the Thames River (you pronounce it “ˈriv-ər”) at low tide. For most rivers, this wouldn’t be a problem. The pirate would simply get wet.

However, the Thames, being an estuary, rises 15 feet, 20 feet or more at high tide. These pirates didn’t just get wet. They got dead.

You might say that the judges of London used the tides for their work, but the pirates lived and died by these tides”.
