Vessel #2 was properly docked at the 14th Street docks facing east when it was struck by vessel #1. Vessel #1 was traveling east on the 14th Street Canal at slow speed/ minimum wake when the operator became distracted with his GPS causing him to lose focus and side swipe Vessel #2. Vessel #1 operator stated that he was trying to set his GPS before going out therefore he was looking down into his electronics and not where he was driving. Note that Vessel #1 sustained minor scratches to the starboard side near the hull. Vessel #2 sustained scratches to the port side rear near the rub rail. No one was injured in the minor crash.
