A PARTY BOAT that lost power on the East River last fall and slammed into the waterfront at Domino Park caused an estimated $40,000 in damage, according to sources and documents reviewed by the New York Post . The incident occurred Oct. 17, when the Sir Winston, operated by R and D Cruise Lines Inc., drifted into the park's bulkheads and guardrails after losing power.

The US Coast Guard confirmed to Business Insider that it received a report about 67 shipping containers falling into the water. The vessel in question was the Mississippi, an 837-foot Portugal-flagged ship, per a report by Reuters. According to data from Vessel Finder, a ship tracking platform, the ship is a year old and had arrived in Long Beach from Yantian, China, on Tuesday.
