Unusual wood item /tool...from a ship?

Hi there,

 

does anyone have any idea what this is?  It looks to be very old and has a sort of locking screw that lifts up, turns 90 degrees and drops down again but does not drop back to where it started.  I thought it could be part of an old ship or something?  The wood and steel look very old.

 

Thanks for your help.  Any would be appreiciated.  A date, a purpose, an origin?

My gut feeling is more likely a piece of furniture like a table or such. Something for a seafaring vessel would likely be more robust with less attention to decorative detail IMHO.

This is a hand router missing the blade and nut to tighten the blade. Cute!
