Actually no! I had just been aboard Pampanito and the Liberty, Jeremiah Obrien, just forward, along Fisherman's Wharf, when word of the Iowa's passing down the Bay toward her (present)new berth in Southern CA caused my dash to the Fort Point across town-no mean feat in 'Frisco. Throwing in joggers, tourists, lookie-loos, and considerable surf crowd... and the trot up the circular stairs to the parapet (at my age!)....I made it with two minutes to spare-literally! Someone had brought an old WWII naval scope, so viewing was a real treat. Of course it helps not to be breathing hard to steady the 34" optics a crash course in "don't run-you'll just die tired" if ever!
