That's the stern. The keel is under water, and the starboard side is the right-hand side when you are facing forward on the water craft.

What does it mean for a ship to list?

A ship that lists is uneven due to bad trim, that is, it's uneven on its keel from front to back, or side to side (bow to stern, port to starboard). Normally, equalization of forward/aft, port/starboard water tanks are used to level the ship. However, uneven loading, or flooding can cause listing. Since flooding is always a possibility, watches must log the ship's list and draft every hour.

There is no "keelhaul." A ship's keel is the bottom of the ship from stem to stern. A crewman or anyone being seriously punished was dragged under the ship from the prow (stem) to the back (stern).

What is a strake?

A single continuous line of planking or metal plating running longitudinally on a vessel's hull. On modern metal hulled vessels the strake running the centerline of the vessel is known as the "Keel Strake". Other strakes are assigned letter designations working outward from the keel strake; "A" strake, "B" strake, etc. The strake at the turn of the bilge is called the "Bilge Strake". The longest continual strake at the uppermost deck is called the "Sheer Strake". Aside from the keel strake, there are two of every strake: Port & Starboard. Depending on the curves of the ship's hull, some strakes may be terminated before reaching either the bow or stern of the vessel.
