KTVU's Debora Villalon reports.
SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco Bay has an unusual visitor in port for the next week.
It's the Energy Observer, a one-of-a-kind vessel that tied up at Pier 9 Thursday evening.
The 100-foot catamaran is zero-emission and hydrogen-powered.
"Someone has to be the tip of the spear on this," said Ted Pollak, a spectator who watched the boat dock. "I'm really excited about what they accomplished."
When the Energy Observer passed under the Golden Gate Bridge, observers might have wondered if it was from a futuristic movie.
Covered with solar panels and boasting two tall wings for wind propulsion, it drew stares from bridge pedestrians.
