FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin A tugboat captain has pleaded guilty to federal seaman’s manslaughter charges after operating a barge with obstructed visibility and without a proper lookout, causing a fatal collision in Biscayne Bay, Miami, that killed three children attending a sailing camp. The collision occurred on July 28, 2025, when the tugboat was pushing a 108-foot construction barge loaded with debris through Biscayne Bay. According to court records, the barge’s forward visibility was blocked by a deckhouse and crane, and no crewmember had been assigned to act as a lookout.
