Ok, looking at the picture closely, I can see that the picture was taken a bit after 1 in the afternoon PST, in the late summer of 1981. It's on the west side of pier 1, probably at the 400 ft mark.  |
Well given my choices, I knew she wasn't in drydock and whatever pier she was tied to appeared to be open water on the opposite side of her. Given the fact that they would not normally back her into a drydock for any reason gave me the impression that whichever pier she was tied up to she was facing bow first towards the navy yard, But I guess for all intensive purposes she could have been spun around and tied to a per say a former fitting out pier.
