Wale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A wale is a broad, thick plank around the outside of a wooden ship.
The garboard is the wale next to the keel; the gunwale is the top such plank and covers the heads of the timbers between the main and fore drifts. [1]
Gunports on armed ships were placed in the Middle Wales. [2]
