RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was upstream of the Ashtabula Lift Bridge and waiting for it to open. It got close to the bridge and turned to port. Vessel 1 turned approximately 90 degrees and was parallel to the bridge. The Operator put the motor in reverse but was unable to prevent Vessel 1 from hitting Vessel 2 causing the damage to Vessel 2. 
  
  Vessel 2 then disengaged, went under the now-raised bridge, and tied up at the public docks next to the Coast Guard Station.
