NAVAL TERMS THAT HAVE ‘COME ASHORE’ A gangway is not a brow – except when it is the brow. ‘Gangway’ is an unobstructed route called for through an obstruction, usually of personnel – it is not the brow. The ‘brow’ is the nautical term for the gangway that links the ship to the shore when alongside, from which navy personnel salute the quarterdeck when coming aboard. (see illustration of typical returnees from a run ashore) So, that’s clear at last!
