| an impost levied in England to provide money for ships for national defense
|
| Ship money refers to a tax that Charles I of England tried to levy with the consent of Parliament. This tax, which was applied only to coastal towns during a time of war, was intended to offset the cost of defending that part of the coast, and could be paid in actual ships or the equivalent value. |
