RedactedNarrative: Investigation revealed:
  
  Vessel #1 was traveling west (inbound) on the Manasquan  River during an Flood tide. Vessel Traffic kept vessel #1 from transiting through the Brielle Bascule Bridge while experiencing engine problems.  Vessel #1 maneuvered hard to port to avoid traffic and then Port again to reposition for the opening, when it lost power.  Vessel #1 began drifting astern with the tide and made contact with the east side of the Bridge south of its opening, specifically striking the large concrete counter weight. The tide continued pushing the vessel pinning it against the Adjacent abutment.  The operator called The CG on Channel 16.   USCG Manasquan responded and pulled the vessel away from the bridge.
