I watched both views of that impact from behind and from in front. it certainly look like it was steered into the pillar to me..
I watch twice.... perfectly lined up on the pillar... Hell even the camera was in the right spot
For most of the time - it doesn't have power or steerage. When it does, it went full astern (the smoke is this ship basically rolling coal to do so) and without steering in reverse on a single screw vessel - prop walked the boat. Stern goes to port - lining up the ship and drift forward into the pilling.
