While much of the Space Coast was sipping coffee, an intrepid band of photographers lurked at Port Canaveral, waiting to capture B1059-1, the booster used for SpaceX’s CRS-19 launch, as it returned to port on the ASDS Of Course I Still Love You:

Falcon 9 booster B1059 can be seen from Jetty Park coming over the horizon. This booster launched SpaceX’s Cargo Dragon just a few days ago on the #CRS19 mission for @NASA. pic.twitter.com/A8Snzbrtwq

Arrival of the #SpaceX booster 1059.1 pulled by tug Hawk & sitting nicely in the middle of OCISLY. It comes into Port this morning after a successful Thur launch & recovery 214 miles offshore. Nice to see a relatively clean booster for a change #NASA #Space #F9 pic.twitter.com/EsIgfk2Ysf
