Paddle steamer Waverley crashes into Scottish pier due to engine failure, injuring 24.
A Marine Accident Investigation Branch report found that the Waverley, a paddle steamer, crashed into Brodick pier in Scotland in September 2020 due to an engine failure caused by a stuck piston valve.
With an inexperienced crew and worn machinery, the ship hit the pier at 2.8 knots, injuring 24 people.
The report suggests fewer injuries could have occurred if passengers had been warned.
Since the crash, the operator, Waverley Excursions, has implemented new safety measures and training programs.
