The payment due for unloading (= lightering) a means of transport in general and a ship in particular (price for unloading cargo). – See handling charges, anchorage charges, discharge charges, boarding charges, honorarium, foreign port charges, ford charges, harbor charges, wharfage, crane charges, load charges, demurrage, lighthouse charges, pilotage charges, cap charges, pratica charges, lock charges, buoyage charges.
Shroud fee: Former fee for the loan of a winding sheet (the cloth that wraps a corpse), which was often provided by the sacristan (sexton). – Since fabrics of all kinds were mostly handmade, and especially because larger weavings were expensive, the light cloth was not usually given to the deceased to take to the grave. Rather, it was washed after use and used again for the next funeral services.
