ID help needed

Can anyone tell me what this part is. Is on the deck of the Comet it Lake Ontario near Kingston. Thanks for any help.

I haven't been on the wreck and without knowing the location and dimension of the object all I can do is hazard a guess that it's part of a winch assembly. It doesn't look like it would have been used to lift loads in and out of a hold so maybe it was used for the anchor?

best guess, since I don't have a clue.

Looks like a wagon wheel, maybe not associated with the wreck at all?

There's a picture of it from a different angle on this page:http://www.carf.info/kingstonpast/marinearchaeology.php
I think it calls it a deck winch (or part of one).

Yep, that's what it looks like. Thanks for the link and the help everyone.

It does look like a deck winch to me. I'll have to get out there and take a look sometime. Gee, another excuse to go diving.
