A Princess Cruises ship carrying nearly some 4,000 people smashed into a pier in San Francisco this week while the vessel was trying to dock, officials said.

In a statement, the company said that the ship “made unexpected contact” with the Pier 27 dock at the Port of San Francisco on Thursday. The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating the incident, an official also said.
