RedactedNarrative: At around 0630 hours the vessel attempted to operate towards the shipping channel from the inside of reedy island. Operator was unaware that the reedy island jetty was in his path of navigation. The vessel struck the jetty on the port midship and then the operator could feel the keel of the vessel strike soon after. 
  
  The vessel started flooding immediately and they then called for help over channel 16 on the VHF radio. The vessel was then towed to safety by tow boat US and the Fireboard departments of Goodwill, Delaware City, and Port Penn.
