There were striations on the starboard side of V-1, and a large crack inside the starboard gunwale near the deck. No property damage to seawalls, docks, or channel markers could be found in the reported area of the accident.
  
     
  ACCIDENT ANALYSIS
  No analysis can be provided due to the operator having no clear recollection of the incident, and the lack of any witnesses. The damage to V-1 appears to have been caused by a single impact to a fixed object. V-1 likely impacted the fixed object first with its starboard bow, then continued down the starboard side while swinging the stern counterclockwise until it too made impact with the fixed object. 
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Based on evidence and information gathered to date, V-1 was involved in a serious collision with a fixed object. The operator was aware of an impact, but could only speculate on the circumstances of the incident. No property damage was observed at or near the reported location of the accident, and no witnesses were located.  The operator was arrested for operating while intoxicated.
