VESSEL WAS TRAVELING NNW AT IDLE SPEED APPROACHING THE PIER TO DOCK. UPON ARRIVING VESSEL OPERATOR ATTEMPED TO PLACE THE ENGINES INTO REVERSE. A PIN HAD FALLEN OFF OF THE SHIFTER WHICH LEFT THE ENGINES IDLING IN FOREWARD WHEN THE OPERATOR PLACED IT INTO REVERSE. THIS CAUSED THE VESSEL TO COLLIDE WITH THE NORTHWESTERN PIER. THE BOW OF THE VESSEL WENT UNDER CAUSING DAMAGE WITH IT HIT A WATER PIPE THAT RUNS UNDER THE PIER.
