RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was pushing a barge up the Cuyahoga River; Vessel 2 was to the stern of Vessel 1, providing escort.  Vessel 1 attempted to turn 180 degrees at Collision Bend to allow Vessel 1 to proceed stern-first upstream.  Vessel 2 was ordered to tie from the stern of Vessel 1 to pull the stern of Vessel 1 to starboard to aid Vessel 1 in the turn.  In the process of turning, Vessel 1 used its propeller to move forward to avoid several vessels tied to the wall on the west side of the river.  The propeller subsequently created a wake which caused the dock lines on Vessel 3 to part, causing damage to Vessel 4 which was docked to the stern of Vessel 3, and causing damage to the starboard side of Vessel 5, which was docked in front of Vessel 3.  Additionally, the wake parted dock lines on Vessel 6, causing Vessel 6 to propel forward over a 16-foot section of floating dock and colliding with Vessel 7, damaging Vessel 7.  Vessel 7 then surged forward damaging Vessel 8.
