VESSEL #1 WAS INBOUND ON THE MANASQUAN RIVER. AS IT APPROACHED THE RAILROAD BRIDGE, THE OPERATOR OBSERVED A GREEN LIGHT AND DID NOT HEAR
THE DANGER SIGNAL WHICH WOULD HAVE INDICATED A CLOSING. AS VESSEL #1 WAS PASSING UNDER THE DRAW, THE BRIDGE WAS COMING DOWN AND
STRUCK THE TUNA TOWER OF VESSEL #1.  THE BRIDGE TENDER THEN RAISED THE BRIDGE AND VESSEL #1 WAS TOWED TO A MARINA. 
THE BRIDGE TENDER STATED THAT HE DID SOUND THE HORN FIVE TIMES AS REQUIRED.
