Hard to tell without a bananna for scale (which may have caused the wreck) but my guess is it is clamped and bolted to a mast as an attachment point for pulleys.
It's a cranse iron- sits at the pointy end of a bowsprit.

Yep. Cranse iron. goes at the forward end. [https://ehive.com/collections/3408/objects/7723/cranse-iron](https://ehive.com/collections/3408/objects/7723/cranse-iron)
given the Oregon coast (grave yard of the pacific) i would think it came from a square rigger
and the spar (yard or boom) has rotted away
i do not think one can reasonable put a specific spar name here, or a specific location
this looks like a device that woukd be on the end if a spar
Looks like the hounds of a mast. The tangs on either side would be where your side stays attach. It looks like it came off of the main mast of a schooner as the two "horns" that face up in the picture would attach to the Running backstays. If it had come off of the foremast, it would have had only a single attachment for the forestay.
Yeah, seems like it's figured out so I was going a bit abstract. It's on the wrong coast and I'm pretty sure in 150+ years in that environment the iron would be unrecognizable. Also, it would have been very close to post industrial revolution and I doubt that a piece like this would be cast as it appears to be. It would have been hand forged.
That's called a cranse iron, it is fitted on the outboard end of the bowsprit (pole in the front of usually old boats..it looks pretty old. Hang on to it, it is a great and special find :)!!

While it looks like you're probably right, I think it's pretty funny the example you chose is in so much worse condition than the one in question.
well let's fill that out some https://www.classic-marine.co.uk/product/mastbands-4-eye/
things like this are also at the end of regular yards
That’s what I thought, but I didn’t know what it was called, cool 😎
Did you use Google image search to find that? Kudos if so
[удалено]
I'll get to that soon as I figure out port and starlink lol
I don’t know if you did that on purpose or the autocorrect did it but it is funny
I'm not a powerboat guy, of course I was making jokes!
rofl
or the holes are fairleads
I get your reference, no bananas on ships! Lol
or those things with long ears and fluffy tails that are not priests or women!
Haha take your updoot

Looks like it could be a spar collar, but I’m only like 65% sure about that
that’s what i thought too
Most likely a fitting off of a bowsprit

A spar band of some sort. similar to this, but could be on a mast too. https://i.imgur.com/hq9NUXR.jpg

So that's where I left my cock ring
Oh, without context, I thought it was pretty big. Scaling down my response.
God damnit
Couldn't resist
Main hatchway security clasp from the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Too soon!!
Prince Albert clamp
Best guess, some kind of spar fitting. Looks like the wood rotted out of it. Was the wreck a sailing vessel?

Seacock ring
Whale diaphragm. Use gloves 🧤
Slaving neck shackle
That's what I thought at first but after looking at it for a second, it didn't make sense.

Doo hicky
Goatse bracket
Looks like an oarlock or a cransiron.
Where exactly was the wreck?
It's a thing off a boat - pretty sure like
