Maybe they need to hire back those ferry workers they fired for not getting The Shot.
They probably knew how to drive the boat.

I used to pilot medium sized boats around Danang Harbor. One thing to remember is that you slow waaay the f*** down waaay before you near your mooring.
The other is that single screw boats are a real pain in the @$$.

One of the Seattle ferries burned out one of its motors a few years ago, took it out of action for three years IIRC.

I recently got turned onto a show called boat fails. Some crazy footage and quite a few incidents involving large commercial vessels caught on camera.

I watch a YouTube channel called “Super Yacht Captain”. It is shot by someone who was, until recently, the captain of a 130 ft yacht in the Med.
One of his dictums, often repeated, is that you should never approach a dock faster than you are willing to hit it.

The visible damage to the ferry is in the superstructure above the deck. Tells me the boat was moving fast enough when it hit those pilings to pull the port bow side free-board down to the water level causing the superstructure to smash into the pilings.

One of the nicer parts of my last job was the frequent ferry rides I was allowed to take. One of the not~so~nicer parts was that my port of call was downtown Seattle.

Looks like the ferry service just purchased a couple of new cars for someone.

This is a Washington State Ferry coming into Coupeville from Port Townsend on a very windy day. I’ve taken it a number of times. The Coupeville dock is the most difficult one to navigate in the entire system.

Not knowing the weather at the time - where there strong winds? What were the currents at the time?
I do know the current there can reach over 4 knots - which may have been a contributing factor.
