gangboardn.

Brit. /ˈɡaŋbɔːd/, U.S. /ˈɡæŋˌbɔrd/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: gang n., board n.
Etymology: < gang n. + board n. Compare Dutch gangboord , denoting part of the deck of a ship (1643 as gangboort ). Compare gangplank n., gangway n. N.E.D. (1898) also includes the sense ‘The boards ending the hammock-nettings at either side of the entrance from the accommodation ladder to the deck’, a definition cited directly from Cent. Dict. (1889). Other evidence for this sense is lacking; it appears to be based on a misunderstanding of the following quotation (which actually shows sense 1), or entries derived from it in later dictionaries and glossaries. Compare also gangway netting n. at gangway n. and int. Compounds.1809 W. Nicholson Brit. Encycl. III. at Gang way It [sc. the gang way] is fenced..in vessels of war with a netting, in which part of the hammocks are stowed. In merchant-men it is frequently called the gang-board.
