RedactedNarrative: On 04 July 2017 at approximately 1714hrs, I arrived at 2 Compromise Street in Annapolis to a reported property damage only boat accident.  I met with an Annapolis Police Department marine patrol unit that responded as well.  The Annapolis Police unit passed on along Coast Guard documentation for both vessels.  I exchanged contact information with the Annapolis Police units and they cleared the scene.
  
        I first spoke with the owner of the struck vessel.  Operator2 stated that his vessel, a 72 ft documented recreational vessel named CAPTIVATOR was struck along the starboard side while docked.  Operator2 stated that he first came to notice the eventual striking vessel because it almost hit another docked vessel.  I conducted a visual inspection of the nearby docked vessels and did not find any damage that could be attributed to a collision with another vessel, minor or otherwise, and no other reports from this address were forthcoming.  Operator2 showed me where the striking vessel had collided with his.  I observed moderate scratches to the wood along the starboard side of the vessel.  He claimed at least $10,000 probable repair costs.  I gave Operator2 my contact information and asked him to provide a damage estimate.
  
        I next spoke with the owner of the striking vessel.  Operator1 stated that while attempting to dock his vessel, a 33 ft documented recreational vessel named LADY MARION, the transmission in his engine failed and he couldn’t put the vessel in reverse, causing him to collide with the CAPTIVATOR.  Operator1 stated that he was on his second attempt to dock his vessel, and that on his first attempt he had to go around again and did come close to the vessel mentioned by Operator2 but did not strike it.  Operator1 appeared distraught for having struck a vessel.  I did not detect the any odor of an alcoholic beverage on Operator1.  Operator1 did not claim any damages to his vessel due to the collision.  I provided Operator1 with my contact information.  Operator1 was in the process of arranging commercial tow services for his vessel when I cleared the scene.
  
        More information to follow, pending any damage estimates provided by Operator2.
