'''Steffy''': A [[plank]], [[timber]], or timbers attached to the bottom of the [[keel]] to protect it in the event of grounding or hauling; on large ships, false keels were sometimes made quite thick in order to increase the size and strength of the keel. In North America from the eighteenth century onward, and perhaps in other areas, false keels were called [[shoes]].
