RedactedNarrative: On Saturday May 18, 2019 I, Corporal of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, was dispatched to a property damage only vessel accident at Campbell’s Boatyard located at 26106 A Bachelors Harbor Drive, Oxford, Maryland. At the time of the call, it was approximately 83 degrees in Oxford, Maryland with a light wind blowing 5 knots in a South/Southeasterly direction and calm seas. Upon my arrival, I was met by Chief of the Oxford Police Department, operator1 the Captain operating the striking vessel, Mugsy (Vessel #1), the owner of Mugsy, and Sergeant Jeff of the Maryland Natural Resources Police. Chief stated to me that Mugsy had struck two other vessels, Halcyon (Vessel #2) and Songbird (Vessel #3), which were tied up at privately owned docks off Yacht Road, directly across from Campbell’s Boatyard where Mugsy was docked. Sergeant and Chief went to assess the damage sustained to both vessels while I stayed with the owner and operator of Mugsy and investigated the events that occurred.
  
  When asked what happened, Operator1 stated he had taken the helm of Mugsy in an attempt to dock the vessel since Owner was having trouble docking the large vessel. While coming into the dock, Operator1 stated the vessel was turning to its port side with the port engine in reverse and the starboard engine in forward. He was able to get a stern line on the vessel, however while attempting to put the starboard engine in neutral, the starboard throttle appeared to be stuck in forward gear. Operator1 stated it was at that time he attempted to shut the engines off by turning the keys. Due to the flybridge controls not responding to Operator1’s attempt to shut off the engines, he went to the deck controls to make another attempt to shut off the engines. 
  
  Operator1 said he attempted to shut off the engines using the emergency switch on both the flybridge controls and deck controls with no response. It was at that time Operator1 went below deck and hit the kill switch for both engines finally turning off both engines. Operator1 and Owner were able get the vessel under control after the engines shut off. Once the vessel was tied up, Owner and Operator1 were able to assess the damage. 
  
  The piling Mugsy was tied to during this attempt to dock had been pulled from its normal position and is now leaning about 10 degrees towards the center of the dock, near the walkway. Due to the force pulling the piling from its normal centered position, the dock has caved and sloped downward towards the water. 
  
  Mugsy’s wooden gunwale on the forward port side sustained damage consistent with hitting a stationary object. The wood had been broken and chipped away with the railing still intact. The stainless steel rub rail on the forward port side of Mugsy had been stripped off the boat approximately 3 inches, with the rest of the rail still intact. Looking further down the hull of the vessel, I could see white paint transfer on the gelcoat, however, Operator1 stated that was from previous excursions. 
  
  On the starboard side of Mugsy, the only apparent damage to be seen was on a support structure from the rail on the bow of the vessel. It appeared to have struck something, causing the stainless steel rail to bend and pull away from the wooden bow railing. Halcyon and Songbird sustained damage, as well as the private docks which the vessels were tied. Operator1 stated that he has captained and operated Mugsy, since it first set sail with its maiden voyage nearly ten years ago. He also stated that he had taken Mugsy out for a test sea trial prior to leaving Connecticut and transporting the vessel to Oxford, Maryland. There were no issues during that test voyage and throughout the trip from Connecticut to Maryland, until they attempted to dock the vessel in Oxford. 
  
  He stated that's when it appeared to have had a mechanical malfunction with the transmission and throttles. Both Operator1 and Owner have approximately over 500 hours of boating experience operating vessels. Operator1 stated he has a Master Captain's License 100-ton, although he did say it was expired. Owner did state he has a United States Coast Guard boating safety education certification. Pictures of the damage Mugsy has sustained and the damage to the dock that was created by Mugsy have been included in this report. On Tuesday May 21, 2019, I attempted to make contact with Owner for an estimate on the damages to Mugsy and the privately owned docks, however I was unable to reach both individuals. I made contact with owner of Campbell's Boatyard, who she stated Bailey's Marine will be doing the repairs to their dock. 
  
  Campbell's Boatyard will be buffing out the small amount of damage and paint transfer done to his vessel, Songbird. Campbell's Boatyard had hulled his vessel out of the water and will be doing the repairs on Halcyon. No estimates were available as of May 21, 2019. Included in a supplement to this report, from Sergeant, is the described damage from Mugsy’s impact to both vessels, Halcyon and Songbird, as well as damage to the private docks.
  
  Halcyon is a USCG documented vessel (1360783) with a Maryland Yacht Validation sticker(246193). It is a 2013 39 foot fiberglass custom make cabin vessel with 600 HP diesel engines. The vessel has a hull id number of CTV39001E213. The "Halcyon" displayed rubbing, crushing, and impact damage to approximately 25 feet of the forward portion of the starboard side and rail where a vessel had apparently made impact. The starboard railing of "Halcyon" was bent in and pushed in several feet toward the center of the boat for much of the forward two thirds of the boat. The forward starboard dock line had been retied to a partially broken cleat attached to a floating pier directly adjacent to the starboard side of the vessel. A broken dock line was coiled near the partially broken cleat. The steel piling to the starboard of the vessel had rub marks approximately 5 feet up from the bottom. The bow pulpit and anchor roller were broken and twisted upward and to the port side. The swim platform on the stern of the vessel displayed impact and rub marks from impacting at the rear dock of the slip and rubbing beneath the dock as it was apparently forced backward from a force at the front of the vessel. The port side of "Halcyon" had no apparent crushing damage, but displayed some rub marks from making impact with the docked vessel and piling to the port side.
