Hi Brian,
That short "wooden thing" on the deck in that picture is a throwing board for a harpoon, which name is not coming to mind right now. :(

In the first picture link in your previous post, the short "thingo" looks like a throwing board as well.
In the second link, the short thing on the line reel looks like a fish club. The two upper harpoons on the deck are for lighter prey, not sure what the lowest one is for, though.

Hope this helps,
