RedactedNarrative: A boating accident occurred on Sept 14, 2017 in Allen’s Harbor, North Kingstown, involving three vessels and damage to an adjacent piling where the boats were docked. The following day EPO  responded to the vicinity of URI bulkhead in Allen’s Harbor, NK.  When EPO was dispatched to the scene, he was advised by URI security that Boat Owner had illegally docked two of his boats the Tiger Joe and a Hatteras at the URI bulkhead.  
  
  Operator1 was planning on towing both boats to an undisclosed location with a 44' wooden commercial fishing  boat he just acquired, the F/V Sabrina Maria, DOC# 278350.  According to EPO investigation, on 9-14-17 the Sabrina Maria struck a town marine piling and a recreational vessel in the area where the Sabrina Maria was docked.  
  
  Damage to the recreational vessel had scrapes to the rub rail area.  V2 owner reported that and there was a fishing pole missing from the holder where his boat was struck.  The Sabrina Maria had fresh blue paint transfer marks that appeared to be the same color paint as the 2014 Sea Fox.  On 9-15-17 EPO then made contact with two subjects that were on the Sabrina Maria.  One of them advised that the Sabrina Maria came into the bulkhead at approximately 10:00 pm on 9-14-17.  They also said that the owner Operator1 was out getting fuel and would be returning shortly.  When Operator1 returned, EPO stated that Operator1 confirmed that he came into Allen's Harbor Bulkhead with F/V Sabrina Maria.  Operator1 also stated that he was unable to put the boat in reverse while trying to dock.  He said he tried to avoid hitting the other boats in the area and ended up hitting the piling.  
  
  On 9-18-17 a complaint was forwarded to EPO regarding damage to a boat that was tied up directly behind the Tiger Joe.  The Complainant reported that his commercial fishing boat (50' F/V Greenfins) sustained damage when the Sabrina Maria came into Allen's Harbor.  On 9-28-17 EPO met with V3 owner to assess the damage.  There were multiple gouges and scrapes to the fiberglass along the length of the hull.  The gouges and scrapes also had fresh blue paint transfer marks.  Operator1 advised EPO that damage to his boat (Sabrina Maria) was done in Gloucester, MA, not Allen's Harbor.
  
  Officer findings are the commercial fishing vessel, “Sabrina Marie” operated by Operator1 entered Allen’s Harbor, North Kingstown and lost reverse gear while attempting to dock and then collided with a 23’ recreational vessel, RI 6698E, while it was docked and unattended causing $600.00 damage. After colliding with this vessel, the “Sabrina Marie” then collided with a piling at the dock causing $3000.00 damage. The “Sabrina Marie” then came into contact with a commercial fishing research vessel, “Greenfins” causing minor damage to that vessel. The dock that was damaged is owned by the Town of North Kingstown.
