What pirates made one walk as a lethal punishment (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gangplank

(Other definitions for gangplank that I've seen before include "It's for (dis)embarking" , "way of leaving Britannia?" , "Movable board used as bridge to ship" , "Way on to ship" , "way to get on board" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
