The bow section of an unknown wooden coastal sailing vessel ashore at an unknown location

A starboard bow view of the bow section from an unknown wooden coastal sailing vessel ashore at an unknown location. The section looks to have been purposely cut, as the edges are very clean and even, not like a wrecked boat would have been. Behind the bow is a rocky outcrop with a bay in the distance surrounded by higher ground.
