Abstract: Employees were replacing a rudder on a tugboat called the Cathy G. The vessel was in the water tied to the center pier. As a hydraulic crane hoisted the rudder from the pier to the vessel, the wire rope sling supporting the load parted, causing the rudder to fall and strike Employee #1 from behind. He was crushed against the crane's left front outrigger and then fell into the water. Employee #1 was killed.
