c.1966-12-31 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

Marker position is approximate.

Does anyone know what this was? Now identified as a pile driver.

Phil spotted it first:

I'm going to up the ante and show you this picture from the 1965 French film "Les Tribulations d'un Chinois en Chine". Is that the Naval dockyard chimney in the background?  If so, then you need to set the demolition date a bit later. The film was released in 1965 but I'mnot sure when it was shot - possibly 1964 or 1965.
