From:  With the American Fleet,  "Wednesday, May 27th, found the crowds melted, Seattle swung into the routine of regular business, and the battleships said farewell to the Queen City that so warmly rejoiced in their visit.  At nine o'clock the entire fleet steamed out of the harbor, the Illinois, Kearsarge, and Minnesota going to the navy yard at Bremerton, where the Wisconsin and Nebraska had already been set, and the remaining eight sailed for Tacoma, where they anchored at eleven o'clock amid the most enthusiastic demonstrations of the people.  On Tuesday, May 31st, the Georgia, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Virginia weighed anchor and sailed out of Commencement Bay for Bremerton, where all of them were ordered to be docked before returning to San Francisco."   The Nebraska, Kentucky, and Wisconsin had proceeded directly to the Puget Sound Navy Yard as the fleet had anchored in Bellingham Bay.
