Tour boats, cargo ships, military ships, and railroads have had disastrous accidents. Large marine vessels are less maneuverable than smaller vessels, are heavy, and can carry hazardous materials. When these vessels collide with other vessels or land, they can cause a great amount of damage. Duck boats are a very popular attraction, but many are World War II vintage and have not been upgraded to meet current safety standards that include proper amount of reserve bouncy. Accidents involving railroads are also quite common. Passenger trains, like commercial airliners, can carry hundreds of people and a major accident can cause numerous deaths. Trains also convey hazardous materials that can burn and/or explode. This chapter discusses the following accidents: LNG Barge – May 2019 USS FITZGERALD – June 2017 USS MCCAIN – August 2017 Stretch Duck 7 – July 2018 Amtrak – May 2015 Montreal, Maine, and Atlantic – July 2013
