5 November 1968 was a Tuesday . . . Can we blame Guy Fawkes?!

Might be some bit of marshalling kit, what with the looped chain in the middle and the row of wheel ratchets on the rail.

It doesn't line up with the map very well. Maybe if it was flipped, though it's still not great even then. There may be some map between the Cassini and the modern that we need.

The ships are camouflaged. It must be close to 1914, WW1 ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_camouflage

They look a bit pre-dreadnought, with those untidy lines; they might be the 6 ships of the Duncan class. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan-class_battleship

Possibly 1899? Madam, - In the Lawrence Collection there is a photograph of the Channel Squadron of the Royal Navy at anchor in Killary Harbour in the West of Ireland. I have researched this considerably and have concluded that it was on the morning of Sunday, October 8th 1899. I have examined the logs of some of the ships present and would like to explore the position a little more. If any of your readers have any information which could assist me I would be grateful if they would contact me at the address below, fax 01-6671080 - Yours, etc.,

"Truncated in 1941" according to the NIAH link. Almost unrecognisable, imho - in 2014 via catb -
