gCaptain reports the results of an NTSB investigation into collisions (yes two) between an offshore supply vessel and USCGC Harry Claiborne (WLM-561) that resulted in injuries to three Coast Guardsmen and provides a link to the 15 page report.
Spoiler alert, primary fault lies primarily with the OSV skipper, but the cutter was not totally blameless.
Mmm, Sabine Pass. I took a surprise swim near there in 1989 working on a channel marker on the Hatchet. Boot slipped off the piling as I was lag bolting dayboards on. Cold swim for a February/March.
