The massive vessel became dislodged and fell sideways at Edinburgh's Imperial Dock.
Pictures show the boat leaning at a 45-degree angle.
A total of 25 people were injured, and 15 are in hospital, the Scottish Ambulance Service has confirmed.
A further 10 people were treated at the scene.
Multiple crew members were initially reported as missing, though Police Scotland has since confirmed everybody is accounted for.
The local hospital has urged people to stay away from A&E unless it's an emergency, and said its staff were on standby waiting to receive "acute patients" this afternoon.
One person was rushed into surgery after the incident, according to BBC News.
Jacquie Campbell, chief officer of acute services at NHS Lothian said staff were "reviewing the current capacity" at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh- and was "waiting to accommodate" patients from the boat.
Edinburgh City council leader Cammy Day said there were around 50 people on board.
He feared "there may be a dozen people who've been injured to some extent".
It had been previously reported that two of the crew were missing.
A source told the Scottish Sun: “This is an extremely worrying situation. It’s been very windy since the early hours of this morning and normal operations had been put on hold until conditions eased.
“Ten crew members are injured and two have been reported missing. Those injured have suffered various injuries, but as far as I am aware, non are in a life-threatening condition.
“But everyone is very worried for the safety of those currently onboard.”
The ship is the RV Petrel, a research vessel which is owned by the estate of billionaire Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who died in 2018, and is being dealt with by ship repair company Dales Marine Service.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Officers and emergency service colleagues are responding to an incident at Imperial Dock in Leith, Edinburgh, whereby a ship on dry dock has become dislodged from its holding.
"Police were called to attend at around 8.35am on Wednesday and officers remain at the scene.
"The public are asked to avoid the area to allow emergency service access."
