RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 "Sea Spray" was underway in the playpen near the oak street gap when it collided with Vessel 2 "Rising Expectations". Vessel 2 was struck on the port side amidship. The Operator of Vessel 1 stated that vessel 2 turned abruptly. Upon interviews and investigation of the incident and damage, it was determined that the Operator of Vessel 1 was having difficulty seeing against the backdrop of the Chicago skyline. The lack of a look out and passengers sitting on the bow of the vessel 1 also contributed to lack of visibility.
