A large party yacht named The Timeless, carrying around 400 passengers, attempted to dock on the Hudson River at West 125th Street this afternoon—around 4:18 p.m.
At that moment, one of its mooring lines snapped, and the vessel collided with the pier. About nine to ten passengers sustained minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals. Thankfully, no one fell overboard, and there have been no reports of any serious or life-threatening injuries so far
FDNY and EMTs arrived promptly, assisting those still on board
Marine units escorted the yacht to a safer dock nearby at 125th Street, where passengers disembarked safely .
At this point, Empire Cruises—the operator of The Timeless—hasn’t released a statement, and emergency crews are still investigating the precise cause, though the immediate trigger appears to be the snapped line during docking
