RedactedNarrative: Investigation at the scene revealed, that the above vessel was attempting to dock at the Wharf’s floating dock, in Wildwood, Cape May County, New Jersey. During this time, operator #1 lost control of his vessel and approached the dock at a perpendicular angle. This allowed the bow of vessel #1 to protrude over the floating dock. Vessel #1’s anchor on the bow pulpit and the support for the hand rail struck the ramp. This caused a 2 inch square piece of stock that supports the railing to be broken off at both ends. Following the collision the bar manager contacted the police to document that his property had been damaged. He also allowed the vessel to remain over night until it could be repaired. Operator #1 was found to be at  fault for the collision and the vessel was later removed for repairs.
