Vessel #1 was heading downstream with an Operator who had never boated in the area before.  When the Operator realized that Vessel #1 was heading for a lowhead dam, he made a hard turn to starboard, but was too close to avoid going over the dam.  As Vessel #1 went over the dam and hit the bottom, it took a lot of water over the side of the vessel; Vessel #1 then came to rest approximately 200 yards downstream of the lowhead dam.
