Where to sell boat collectables (ships wheel etc.) as a job lot?

Hi,
I have marine collectables and am wondering where to sell it, as a job lot. It includes brass propellors, a few varnished masts ranging from 6ft to 26ft, a few sets of oars, old ships wheel, wooden rope pully blocks, anchors, wind-up boat horn in varnished box, floats, 2 whale bones(a vertabre & a skull), an old rowing boat, and other bits and pieces.
I am in Dublin. Thanks.

Your best bet would probably be a professional auctioneer..you'd be hard pressed to sell that as a job lot on adverts.ie!

Would a salvage yard be into this kind of stuff? Are there many salvage yards/companies?

There's precious few salvage dealers these days and you wouldn't get much from them. A saleroom like Herman Wilkinson in Rathmines might be your best bet but don't plan your retirement on the proceeds.
