Video footage has emerged of the moment the Bulgarian tall ship, Royal Helena, hit the docked replica ship, Nao Victoria, in The Netherlands.
Both tall ships were in Oudeschild harbour, Texel Island, for the Ships of Discovery tour.
The incident happened on Tuesday (20 June).
The video footage shows the Royal Helena entering the port at speed.
Unable to slow down, it ploughs into the port side of the docked Nao Victoria.
Media reports suggest that both tall ships have sustained damage, although the vessels remain seaworthy.
The Spanish registered Nao Victoria has damage to its port bulwark while the Bulgarian vessel has bow damage.
