Great Lakes bulker hits docked powerboat, bridge in Green Bay

摘要

A Great Lakes freighter backing out of the Fox River struck a moored powerboat and ran into a drawbridge in downtown Green Bay, Wis. Kaye E. Barker was in ballast when it hit fendering along the Ray Nitschke Memorial Bridge at 1530 on July 16. The ship was not damaged and its 22 crew were not hurt, but it destroyed the roughly 16-foot powerboat. A bridge gangway on the fendering and docks along the river also were damaged.
