#2 Looks like an insulated joint for rig work or refining. But it is a recent event.

Maybe a bushing or mooring on a deep sea drilling platform?

#8 Most rig stuff for risers is covered more in concrete than foam. they don't want them too bouyant. And it doesn't look like the end of any riser joint I've seen.
