RedactedNarrative: On Saturday May 31, 2014 at 1330 hours I was contacted by Laurel Marina manager. Manager stated that there had been a boating accident inside Laurel Marina. Manager stated that a house boat and a boat house were damaged. I told Manager that I would be in route to Laurel Marina. I arrived at Laurel Marina on South Holston Lake in Bristol Tennessee at approximately 1430 hours. I followed Manager to the area where he stated the incident occurred. I docked at boat house WA35A. I observed damage to the exterior of the boat house. I was met by individuals. I obtained statements from the witnesses available and traveled to a house boat named “Out of Control” across the cove. I observed port side damage to house boat VA7524 BK. I spoke with the owner of the vessel, and determined him to be the operator of the vessel. I obtained statements from Operator and an occupant of the vessel at the time of the incident. I documented the damage to Operator''s vessel. I returned to the boat house where I originally observed damage and documented the damage to the exterior of the building. 
  
  Based On Witness Statements: 
  Both individuals stated that Virginia Vessel 7524 BK was attempting to dock in his usual docking location. They stated the vessel attempted to dock in the slip but was unsuccessful after a couple of tries. They stated the vessel began to accelerate in reverse towards their boat house. The vessel then struck their boat house and continued in reverse until it struck the bank just beyond their location. 
  
  Both stated that the vessel that they were traveling in, VA 7524 BK, was being operated by Operator. They stated they lost power to the port side engine of the vessel while cruising on the lake. They stated they began to return when they realized the engine problems. Operator stated he was attempting to dock the vessel and was having trouble with the wind. Operator stated that on his last docking attempt, he was blown backwards into the boat house. 
  
  Damage Assessment: 
  Boat House WA35A had damage to the exterior including: a bent front corner post support beam, a swim ladder and the concrete pads that connected it, and a slide and the support system that extended from the second level of the building. 
  House Boat VA 7524 BK had damage to the port side including: a window that had shattered, and damage to the exterior near where the shattered window was located.
