How was a line looped under a sailing vessel for keelhauling?
score:8
Accepted answer
Go to the bow. Pass the line under the bowsprit and let out line on both ends until it is in the water. Walk back to midships.
When done, let go of one end and haul away.

You just throw the line over the side.
Normally the line would be anchored at a yardarm. On a big ship the lower yardarms would have big rings at either end. So, you run the line through one, bring it around the stern, then you tie it to the guy, then loop it through the other ring on the same yardarm.
The punishment was more often a threat than a reality.
