woodenboater Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 yikes !!! looks like one ship was turning portside before the crunch of metal
Old Ironmaker Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 Was a dock foreman for a few years and have seen some close calls and only 1 collision causing damage to the vessels. In every situation where the boat got out of control alcohol was a factor. 3
lew Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Back in my Navy days we were sailing from Halifax to Charlottetown and took a shortcut thru the Canso Causeway between Nova Scotia & Cape Breton and banged the ship right into the end of the jetty. No real damage but pretty embarrassing with all the tourists watching us. Edited July 12, 2020 by lew

AKRISONER Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 Something seems weird here...almost as if it’s intentional
Spiel Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 I've read this morning that it may have been intentional as the red ship had lost helm control.
chrisb Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 I have been told one of the ships lost steering and they were in contact with each other.

chrisb Posted July 30, 2020 Report Posted July 30, 2020 The red one? In the video it sure looks like the black ship made the turn in front of the red one.
