The first piccy with your gleaming motor reflecting the wondrous device is the better pic. (you knew that already didn't you) Nothing is more impressive than a highly polished black one.....

Ah! I hadn't registered its location. Good thinking.

I was about to post 'riveter' but not necessarily ships. That sure looks like riveting jaws on the front.

Like all black cars, it looks great when it's clean. Which means for about 1 day after you wash it. Otherwise, it shows every bit of dirt!

However, reconsidering, I reckon it's some kind of power hammer or punch. Crane at the back to feed whatever in, motor on top (probably added later in place of a belt drive) to drive the flywheels which have some good old weight, and what look like jaws right at the front.
Is there a prize?
No prize, but there was some kind of plate riveted to it which was hard to read (as it had been painted the same blue colour as the rest of it), but I believe it did mention something about punching holes. So, good call!
