V1 WAS HEADING IN A NORTHWEST DIRECTION THROUGH THE SARATOGA CANAL, WHILE V2 WAS HEADING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE CANAL. BOTH VESSELS CAME AROUND A BEND AND SAW THAT THEY WERE ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH EACH OTHER, SO BOTH VESSELS CHANGED COURSE. V1 TURNED TO PORT THEN BACK TO STARBOARD, WHILE V2 TURNED STARBOARD. BOT VESSELS SLOWED THE FORWARD SPEED OF THEIR VESSELS IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID THE COLLISION. BOTH VESSELS COLLIDED WITH EACH OTHER.
