Captain could've had a medical emergency and passed out.
(1) The Captain was not in charge. A Harbor Master was.
(2) The Harbor Master was not unconscious. He sent out a distress call to authorities letting them know the ship was uncontrollable.

As I understand it there were two Baltimore pilots. The Master of the vessel is ALWAYS in charge, his ship. The Master gives the con or control to the pilots but he is still responsible. Yes, all protocols were followed correctly as far as I've heard, and yes calling local authorities certainly saved lives. It's just an unfortunate major marine incident. RIP to the lost souls,
