What makes you think there was no video? ;) There was a cruise ship in that day so I was on duty as volunteer cam op. Someone alerted me that the Battleship was moving. You can see I kept panning to the pier in front of Harbor House looking for spectators but no one was there. It truly was a surprise move! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZvRmISJqserfas There is a second video of the first pilot debarking after they docked (there were two pilots).

Yeah just poking fun would have been great for the public to had been giving notice to be able witness the move.
