CL-JW Posted September 27, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2008 We just returned from San Francisco to see the Star Princess in drydock @ Pier 70. For better or for worse, MUTS (Movies Under the Stars) is definitely going in – the frame was already installed. We have pics in the link attached. http://travel.webshots.com/album/567451519uYTAyI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetpeaOne Posted September 27, 2008 #9 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing. How do they get the ship on top of the pier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL-JW Posted September 27, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing. How do they get the ship on top of the pier? It is a floating dry dock. They submerge the dock and move the ship into place. Once it on the dock they refloat that entire dock. We would love to see the refloating take place, but they did it over night. :( It is amazing what you can do with water and air. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bythebayshore Posted September 28, 2008 #15 Share Posted September 28, 2008 :p Great pictures, thank you for posting. I especially liked the aft pictures with the rudders and props. We sailed for the first time out of San Francisco in May on the Dawn. Where is pier 70 as compared to pier 35 which is where we sailed from? Would it be closer to the Golden Gate (West?) or the opposite direction? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted September 28, 2008 #22 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks for the photo share. For Bythebayshore and others who are unsure of Pier numbers in San Francisco: Even numbered piers are South of the Ferry Building, odd numbers are North of the Ferry Building.
