Hanging as punishment

We went on a cruise ship around Boston Harbor, that had jugglers and pirates for kids activities. There was this pretty authentic looking pirate, who at some point started to tell a story about Black Beard pirate that got hanged in Boston for his crimes. On the way home, Gwenchik was still talking about the pirate.
Gwen: You know, he did not behave well, that is why he got hanged. What is a hanging?
Me: Killing by putting a rope on the persons neck
Gwen: They asked him to put away his shoes, and he didn't do it... so he was hanged.
