Does that really count as lifting? It's just using physics. Even you with a bucket could lift the cruise ship like that if you had enough time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm2cAs445wU
Dunbar lifeboat moves to safety of habour
Scary enough until the end when you watch the view as it squeezes into the harbour
I have never been to Dunbar harbour before, but looking at the chart the entrance faces north west, so mostly a following sea on the way in.
Seems like a case of as much power as you dare to maintain steering and hoping for the best.

That's the MV Suilven - she sailed for over two decades off the west coast of Scotland with Caledonian MacBrayne, then was sold to New Zealand operators, then to Fiji, where she had a sad end to her career:

What a cracking bit of boat, proper boat shaped boat, with solid traditional lines and a proper name.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Suilven
Love it.

The "old" entrance to the East used to be much more exciting!Scary enough until the end when you watch the view as it squeezes into the harbour

I believe this is normal practise for Dunbar in bad weather - full throttle and hang on!
It must have been bad for them to move the boat - they lost one a few years back at the Torness pier in similar weather:-
