Disney cruise ship collides with metal pier in the Bahamas

  • A video shows the Disney Dream cruise liner running into a pier on Saturday as it came into port in Nassau, Bahamas
  • The man taking the video comments on the ordeal while watching from afar
  • Damage to the ship appears minimal and the hull was not punctured, so the ship was able to stay on schedule

A video shows a Disney cruise ship accidentally backing into a pier in Nassau, Bahamas, on Saturday.

As the large boat called Disney Dream runs into the metal pier there is a disturbing sound of crushing metal that can be heard from several hundred yards away where a man is taking a video. 

‘I knew that was going to happen,’ the man named Scott Lewitt says. ‘Holy f*ck.’

The ship miscalculated its landing and collided with a metal pier

The Disney Dream cruise liner came in to dock in Nassau, Bahamas, but miscalculated its landing and collided with a metal pier. An onlooker captured the crash on video

The boat then starts to backtrack away from the pier as the man continues commenting.

‘Apparently Goofy’s driving the boat today,’ he says. ‘Bet you somebody gets fired over that. Holy moly.’

When the ship gets a few dozen feet away from the pier the camera zooms in on the dented hull.

Damage to the ship appears minimal and the hull was not punctured.

The ship was reportedly on a three night cruise out of Port Canaveral with port stops in Nassau and on the cruise line’s private island Castaway Cay. The collision did not affect the sailing schedule.

One of the passengers on the boat tweeted after the incident with photos of the damage, saying that they were all back onboard.
