Several people looking out office windows along San Francisco's Embarcadero Thursday morning spotted what appeared to be a new isle in the San Francisco Bay.

Many San Franciscan's immediately recognized the floating structure surrounded by palm trees as Forbes Island, a Fisherman's Wharf landmark that is part boat, part lighthouse and part restaurant.

The boat was spotted on the move (with help from a tug boat) around 9:15 a.m. On Social media, the island looked a bit like "floating paradise."

Last year the tourist mecca floated south to for a major overhaul, according to Hoodline. It's not clear what repairs were being undertaken this time, but Hoodline reported the vessel has been missing from it's sea lion-adjacent dock since the holidays. Forbes Island staff did not pick up the listed phone lines for the business Thursday, but an outgoing message confirmed the restaurant was closed, "Due to unscheduled repairs."

We'll update this story with a reopening date if we get one.
