I just took an advanced maritime navigation/chart plotting course in addition to my USCG 100T Masters license and the charts we used in both classes are the Chesapeake Bay charts “frozen in time” by the USCG. It can be a complicated area to navigate even without vessel traffic. I first thought that the ship either lost power or it was intentional but I’m glad that it wasn’t intentional. Accidents happen unfortunately and maritime disasters often lead to better regulations in an attempt to avoid repeating the error chain that led to something like this.

The NTSB and USCG reports will be interesting…
