Yes.
If the CG's were westbound, and the ferry was Southbound, then the CG's hit the ferry on the port side, and you be in the wrong.

FWIW, I was on a survey line today, W-E with a sailboat WITH BARE POLES came down across my bow from the north (PORT) and gave me dirty looks and a gesture when I was forced to take his stern closer than he wanted... wouldn't answer me on 16 to discuss why he was wrong... Probably another weekend warrior rag-boat w/ the mentality they they always have the right of way!

Had a high school friend who graduated from the Coast Guard academy around 1977. He was at the helm of a large Coast Guard ship in NY harbor (obviously under supervision of a senior officer) when his ship collided with a another ship (I think it was a Navy vessel). The damage was major. He was compelled to testify and his testimony confirmed that the responsibility for the collision rested with his commanding officer. He was blackballed as a result and left the service soon thereafter. Someone will pay dearly for this collision.
