Ferry Boat Landing What Is Its?

[baywalker]

Several weeks ago stevemc and I went to check out an old ferry boat landing. It was in use in the 1890's. Found several items that I am not sure what they are.
The first looks like a lead, 1 lb, sounding weight. It is 2" accross th top.
The next is a couple of brass rings - not sure of their use.
Next is a yellow brass crudely forged and looks like a bell?

Any ideas on them is appreciated

The second items look to be from some kind of brass swivels.

Its just a wild guess hence the question mark. I cant think of anything else. Its an old corkscrew shaped like a bell. Old bottles used corks. Google it to see some pictures. https://www.google.com/search?q=bel...&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CEoQ_AUoAQ&biw=966&bih=570

I'm thinking the two round items might be rope guides for the ferry boat.

The lead looks like a decoy weight to me
