RedactedNarrative: The Operator of Vessel 1 was bringing Vessel 1 to Pier 53 to have it pulled for the winter; the Operator reported that he was operating as close as possible to the southern side of the channel, which was to the port side of Vessel 1.  The Operator was focused on the green pole and the gas docks when his mast struck one of the overhead power lines, causing sparks to fly.  The Operator then placed Vessel 1 into reverse at which time he struck another overhead wire causing more sparking.  Emergency services were called and after arriving upon scene were able to assist the Operator of Vessel 1 in docking Vessel 1 on the north side of the channel.
