RedactedNarrative: On April 29, 2017, Vessel 1 named the Viking was tied up to the Beaufort Docks in Beaufort, NC.   At the time of the incident no one was on board vessel number 1.  Vessel number 2 named the Tropic Bird was making its way into the Beaufort Docks when the wind caused vessel 2 to strike vessel number 1 along its side causing damage.  The Coast Guard responded to the scene and got information and made sure there was not impairment from the operator of vessel 2.  I contacted vessel 2 operator and had him send in the report to NC Wildlife.  Winds were strong.
