RedactedNarrative: On this date, I responded to a report of a vessel accident in the area of Schooner Island Marina, in Wildwood. Upon my arrival, I observed a 63' Viking docked in slip with substantial damage to the stern swim platform. One of the owners of this vessel advised the boat that hit his vessel was two slips to his left and they we going to leave. I approached the other vessel and spoke with the occupants. The operator advised he struck the Viking while attempting to dock his boat.
  
  Operator #1 stated "On Sunday 8/14/22 at about 2:30pm, I was at the helm and practicing docking maneuvers on my 2019 Pursuit OS 325. I was with my captain, and we were working in a protected area. While attempting to approach one of the slips in the vicinity of my dock, the current took us close to the docked boats. Before I could make a correction, the starboard side of my boat hit the corner of the swim dock of another boat. There was some damage to the starboard corner of their swim dock on the back of their boat. The NJ State Police were called and responded and wrote a report."
  
  Owner/ Witness Vessel #2 stated "I was standing in the cockpit of my boat that was docked in my slip at Schooner Island Marina. I observed a boat coming towards our stern he accelerated and impacted our swim platform with extreme force resulting in substantial damage . " 
  
  Investigation revealed: Operator #1 was traveling Southeast away from the ICW into Schooner Island Marina, just North of the gas dock. Operator #1 was attempting to dock in one of the slips on the North side of the marina and approached to close to Vessel #2. Vessel #2 was docked bow inward in slip, the 2nd slip inward from the gas dock. Operator #1 lost control of the vessel and was subsequently pushed into the rear of Vessel #2 by the current going in towards Schooner Island Marina. The starboard side stern swimming platform was crushed inward by the starboard side midship of Vessel #1.
  
  Vessel #1 sustained minor fiberglass scratches to the starboard side midship.
  
  Vessel #2 sustained damage to the starboard side stern swimming platform which was cracked and crushed inward. No injuries were reported and no tows were needed.
