"Reps from real estate titan Two Trees Management - which opened the $50 million public park in 2018 as part of its mixed-use rental project in Williamsburg paying tribute to the old Domino Sugar Plant that once operated there - fired off letters Friday to federal, state, and city agencies urging they investigate the Oct. 17 incident involving the Sir Winston vessel."
"Video exclusively obtained by The Post shows a woman screaming "call for help!" as the 92-meter-long Sir Winston - which drifted off course after losing power - slowly crashed into the park's waterfront bulkheads and guardrails along a public walkway. A man ashore yells to "Igor move!" to another man on the walkway watching to the boat guide towards shore."
"Michael Lampariello, the park's director for Two Trees, alleged in his letter to the Coast Guard, EPA, the NYC Economic Development Corp., and other government agencies that R and D Cruise Lines Inc. and its owner Raj Rahaman are to blame for "serious infrastructure damage and creating a major risk to public safety.""
A 92-meter party boat, the Sir Winston, lost power and drifted into Domino Park's waterfront on Oct. 17, damaging bulkheads, guardrails, and a public walkway. Two Trees Management estimates roughly $40,000 in damages and sent letters to federal, state, and city agencies seeking investigation and possible enforcement or operational measures to prevent future incidents. Two Trees' park director Michael Lampariello named R and D Cruise Lines Inc. and owner Raj Rahaman as responsible for serious infrastructure damage and a major risk to public safety. Rahaman allegedly told park representatives to "go f-k yourselves" when asked to pay for the damages. The Coast Guard and FDNY towed the vessel to Pier 36; no injuries were reported.
