The tug seems to be pulling the bow, is that possible?

Weird!! The tug seems oblivious to the whole thing--probably on the phone his company's lawyers. Other than the ship's prop wash, I don't see evidence of a major current, but that can be hard to see. Now I'm happy no big guys can get near my dock!

The ships cat probably laid down against the joystick.

Wow. Somebody's insurance company just had a very bad day. It looks like he damaged around a dozen or more boats, buckled the dock and sheared off several slips. You can see a guy on the stern all but jumping up and down probably trying to tell the captain or pilot what was going on. It almost looked toward the end that the tug was still pushing them backwards (when you see the giant prop wash and the cabin cruiser caught between the rudder & hull).

Apparently the term "mitigation of damages" isn't included in marine law? I can understand the damage while in reverse - but more damage while leaving?
