gunwales located
A "gunwale" is the upper edge of the side of a boat (any side). The name derives form the time when cannon were mounted on boats and the "gunwales" were where these cannon were mounted.
When onboard and facing the front of a boat, the starboard side is on the right side.
The gunwales ("gunnels") are the upper side walls of a ship or boat, or the top rail on a canoe, or a raised walking deck (side deck) on some types of boats. They are named for the strengthened part of a ship where cannons were mounted.
