Bruce, it's an electric motor. Probably used in one of the many auxiliary machines a ship possesses. I'm surprised it was found in that condition. As a rule, these electric motors are dismantled by buyers after their active life because of the expensive copper. Intriguing photograph, Buddy!
That's an old one!...Sea is right...One of my relatives owned a salvage yard and they would always buy old, outdated motors for the copper windings, which merited a good price...
