Reference points are probably misleading, even when they exist, at sea. Sort of like how a plane landing can seem to be hovering in place when seen from a car moving in just the right way. The ferry may have assumed the Virginia was moving perpendicular to their course, and would be out of the way by the time they got there.


Or they may have just fallen asleep at the wheel.
