A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Keelage (keel-ij) is a historical term that refers to the right of demanding payment of a toll by a ship entering or anchoring in a harbor. It can also refer to the toll that is paid.

1. In the 18th century, the port authorities in Boston charged keelage to all ships that entered the harbor. The amount of keelage depended on the size of the ship and the duration of its stay.

2. The keelage for a small fishing boat was only a few shillings, but for a large merchant vessel, it could be several pounds.

3. The keelage was used to maintain the harbor facilities and to pay for the services of the harbor master and his staff.

These examples illustrate how keelage was a common practice in many ports around the world. It was a way for the authorities to generate revenue and to ensure that the harbor facilities were well-maintained. The amount of keelage charged depended on the size and type of the ship, as well as the duration of its stay.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
