Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard established strict rules and punishments onboard the Scientology ship, with sailors being ranked on a scale from minor infractions to losing pay and being locked in their bunk, for offenses such as depriving a child of their work or play. Hubbard also had the crew stop at random islands to search for gold he believed he had buried in past lives.
