Yep, that is a punt, see the round raised section on the wood in front of the lock? That is where the swivel was mounted to use it on the boat.

A swivel deck gun !
And that fella has a set that are bigger
than that gun shoots  I would bet ! No way I would have fired that
thing upwards. That would break a collar bone!
