Vessel 1 with three persons on board was headed toward Ballast Island at approximately 30 knots.  The Operator of Vessel 1 was looking at the wrong green navigation aid and subsequently struck a steel wall, ejecting one passenger and the Operator.  The ejected passenger struck her head and was pronounced dead at the scene from major head trauma.  The Operator suffered a compound fracture on his left leg and a broken arm.  The third party aboard Vessel 1 was not ejected, but did suffer a broken arm and a head laceration.
