A Danish tall ship was involved in a minor collision with a new U.S. Navy littoral combat ship in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor on Sunday. Some video of the incident has been posted online.

The incident took place during Maryland Fleet Week and Flyover Baltimore event.

The training ship Danmark was being escorted by tugs when it collided with the USS Minneapolis St. Paul (LCS 21), which was moored at the time. No injuries are serious damage was reported on either vessel.

USS Minneapolis St. Paul was commissioned this past May in Duluth, Minnesota. The ship was built by Lockheed Martin and Fincantieri Marinette Marine in Marinette, Wisconsin.
