Gunwales, also known as gunnels to the American culture and pronounced this way, are the topmost plank of a wooden vessel (especially a ship) used for mounting guns upon. The term originated in 1466 to describe the platform on deck that supports the mounted guns.

The gunwales are the top edge on the side of a boat. It is usually pronounced 'gunnel or gunnels'
and was originally the 'gun ridge'.
