 Hi Peggy, as far as I am aware a gunwale or also a gunnel is the upper edge of the side of a boat/ vessel. So named as that was often the place the gun would have been mounted.  Hope that helps-- HOPE I got the meaning right, I am not a nautical type, heck don't like water !!

Not the bridge Peggy (originally I thought I would perhaps do Girders! but decided there was a more fun one and much more obvious)!  Or so I thought!!!

Not grabrail either Vince!
