A U.S. Coast Guard investigation is underway into the collision between the cruise ship Norwegian Pearl and the fishing vessel Gabby G.

The Gabby G, was returning to port when it struck the Norwegian pearl, which was on its way to Bermuda, the Coast Guard said. The crash happened at 2:25 a.m. in rainy conditions about 35 miles southeast of Nantucket.

The Norwegian Pearl, which was on a weekly cruise between Boston and Bermuda, was able to continue on its way, and there were no injuries. The fishing boat said to be about 69 feet long and about 23 feet wide, sustained some damage but was able to return to New Bedford under its own power.

Dan Farnham, manager of the vessel Gabbi G Fisheries Inc. of Montauk, New York, said there was one minor injury on the fishing boat. 

Farnham said they consider New Bedford their homeport. "We fish all the time from New Bedford."

He said they hope to have the boat back fishing in a month after the repairs.
