What is This?

[Tom Christie]

Never mind, I can't post the picture.

Update: Thanks to the efforts of Upchurchmr, my pics appear below in post #12.

The "winch bit" is displayed in the Oswago Hotel dinning room here in Victoria.
It is very heavy and I doubt it would float, but it is made of wood.
Looks to be the real thing but could be a very well done recreation... but why so I'm doubtful.

It's some kind of a winch or windlass I would think but I'd be curious to know what it did, where, and how.

Cheers and thanks again to Upchurchmr.
