  2. If you should ever need to know in the future, "gunwale" is not pronounced as it is spelled. It's pronounced "gunnel", and rhymes with tunnel.

    gunwales

    Plural form of gunwale

    gŭn′əl

    noun

    1) The upper edge of the side of a vessel.

    2) Nautical, the upper edge of a ship's side; the uppermost wale of a ship, or that piece of timber which reaches on either side from the quarterdeck to the forecastle, being the uppermost bend which finishes the upper works of the hull.

    3) The upper edge of a vessel's or boat's side; the uppermost wale of a ship (not including the bulwarks); or that piece of timber which reaches on either side from the quarter-deck to the forecastle, being the uppermost bend, which finishes the upper works of the hull.
