RedactedNarrative: Operator of vessel #1 (V1) stated to the effect: I was launching my boat at the ramp and started drifting towards the dock. I was having trouble with the throttle, I put it in reverse, however the vessel went forward. I hit the dock with the side of my boat.
  
  Investigation revealed: (corroborated by surveillance camera footage) V1 was pulling away from Liberty State Park Boat ramp's fixed dock heading South towards the floating dock connected to a pier with an aluminum ramp/walkway. Operator of V1 attempted to avoid the floating dock and steered V1 away towards a Western direction. As V1 rotated towards its starboard, V1's port side hit the edge of the dock under the aluminum ramp, the floating dock was forcefully pushed away from the aluminum ramp, causing it to collapse into the water. The collision caused damage to the dock and aluminum ramp/walkway rendering both unusable till repair. V1 sustained minor damage to its port side, black scuff marks on the hull and scrapes to its rub rail. V1 was removed from the water onto its trailer. No injuries were reported.
