Taken from news report- The owner of the 44-foot boat that struck the west jetty of the Montauk Harbor inlet last Thursday night, August 2, and sank the next morning said that he had no idea the jetty was there as he approached the harbor in the dark. Subject said he was using his GPS system to navigate into the inlet from the east and that when he saw he’d overshot the inlet mouth he thought he could just turn back to the channel, not realizing the markings on the GPS indicated the two stone jetties that border the inlet. The boat, a Meridian cabin cruiser named Always Only You, struck the west jetty and lodged on the rocks. The following morning, the high tide lifted the boat off the rocks and it drifted only a few yards into Block Island Sound before sinking and settling upright on the shallow bottom, its fly-bridge protruding from the surface, about 100 feet from shore. 

Salvage crews surrounded the sunken vessel with a floating oil boom but said that there were no signs of fuel leaking from the tanks as of Saturday afternoon.

Taken from operator statement. 

I was monitoring my chart plotter expecting to see the north wall and the channel and avoid the wall. I never saw the wall on the chart plotter. 

I was scanning for the red beacon that is positioned about 50 feet inside the end of the channel. There was quite a bit of light clutter on the south side of the channel, but trees block the light from the shore on the north side of the channel. 

I never saw the red beacon marking the channel. I was also watching the other boats to my starboard, and that was certainly a distraction. I turned the wheel hard to starboard and felt the grounding, a moment later I saw the north wall, the wheel was already hard to starboard and I contacted the corner of the wall with the port bow. The wall contacted the boat about 8 feet from the bow just below the rub rail and then again for about 20 feet on the port side.

RedactedNarrative:
Taken from Monroe County Deputy addendum- On 04/13/19 at approx. 1800hrs I was off duty when I was requested by Captain to respond to Admiralty Way in the Town of Webster for the report of a drowning. 

Once on scene I was briefed by Captain and was instructed to interview witnesses Subject1 and Subject2. Subject1 stated that he and Subject2 are childhood friends and they decided that they wanted to go to Bayside Pub at 279 Lake Rd. Subject1 stated that Subject2 came to his house and brought another childhood friend, Victim with him. 

Subject1 stated that prior to going to Bayside, The three of them each had 2-3 alcoholic drinks. Subject1 denies any use of any recreational or prescription drugs. Subject1 stated that the group decided to canoe over to Bayside. 

Subject1 stated that the trio went down a dirt path giving them access to Irondequoit Bay. Subject1 believes that he was in the front of the canoe, Victim was in the middle and that Subject2 was in the back of the canoe. 

The group was able to get in the canoe and went towards Bayside Pub. Subject1 said once they got around a bend on their path the water became rocky. Subject1 said the group decided that they should head towards a nearby dock and shallow water in case they were to flip. Subject1 said while heading towards the dock Victim was joking around and making the canoe sway. 

Subject1 believes the combination of rough waves plus canoe swaying caused the vessel to flip over ejecting the three males. Subject1 said that he landed near a life preserver which he held tightly and began swimming towards nearby docks. Subject1 said he was able to see Subject2 who was able to swim to the docks and hold on to them. Subject1 was able to pull himself out of the water onto the dock and saw Victim swimming, at times being submerged. 

Subject1 said once on the dock he thought to get the canoe that was already on the dock in an attempt to help Victim. Subject1 lost sight of Victim while on the dock and ran up Dunbar Rd to try to raise help since he lost his cell phone in the water when the canoe flipped. Subject1 was able to raise help from Samaritan and awaited MCSO. 

I then spoke to Good Sam and her husband. Good Sam stated that while she was watching television she heard an unknown individual aggressively banging on the front door of her home. Good Sam and her husband answered the door to find both Subject1 and Subject2 wet and trying to explain that the two males were canoeing with a third friend and that the friend was still in the water. Good Sam called 911 and passed along the information the best she could. West Webster Fire Department also responded to the scene and located a green 16 foot canoe approx. 1000 meters East of the docks.  They then launched their boat to sweep the area for Victim. US Coast Guard  responded and provided a boat and helicopter. A ping was conducted on Victim's phone which placed him within one quarter mile of 4657 Culver Rd.  Victim's body was recovered and transported to Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office.

When law enforcement arrived they found the vessel completely involved with fire and drifting. 

They started fire fighting efforts and had the fire knocked down upon Kingston FD. arrival.   

After speaking to the owner who was still at the boat launch (SPIT PARK) he advised that they had just put the boat in the water and were starting it when they heard a loud pop and the fire started. 

 The local Fire Dept. was on scene but due to the damage from the fire a cause could not be found.  The owner of the vessel advised they had filled the boat with gas at a local gas station and trailered it to the ramp where they launched it and secured it at the dock. 

When the fire started the only person onboard was the owner. the fire melted the dock lines and the boat was drifting toward some moored barges when we arrived. We knocked the fire and I towed the vessel to shallow water in case it sank. We were able to get it back to the ramp where we contacted a tow company with a flatbed and they removed it

Operator of vessel 1 stated, "We were anchored over in the Lake of the Isles when a storm came upon us, and because of the very strong wind the boat started to be pushed towards shore, so I started the engines and while the boat started to swing the boat around when I ran over another boats anchor line. 

I then heard the high water alarm going off so I turned the engines off and water was still coming into the boat and the boat sank to the bottom in a matter of minutes of hearing the high water alarm". 

After the vessel was removed from the water it was determined that anchor line/ chain was wrapped around the port side shaft and propeller which caused the strut/ hanger to be pulled away from the bottom and leaving a large hole in the bottom of the vessel which allowed water to enter the vessel causing it to sink.

RedactedNarrative:
Taken From Boat Owner- On Sunday I received a call from Treasure Island Marina informing me that someone hit my docked boat on Saturday Aug. 22. 

I was not at the marina that day but other boaters were there at the time and witnessed the boat (Five Fins) hitting my boat at an excessive speed. 

One of them took a picture of the boat that hit mine and sent it to Ray. Another boater saw everything and said if I need a witness he would oblige. 

Five Fins just left the scene without talking to any of the witnesses. It is my understanding that Treasure Island has a video of Five Fins hitting my boat. Treasure Island has also learned the location of where Five Fins docks the boat and noticed that the registration numbers are different on the sides of the boat. One side reads NY1392JR and the other side reads NY1392RJ.

On 05/16/2020 at 1945 hours I responded for the report of a personal watercraft crash. It was reported that a personal watercraft had crashed in a small pond in the rear of the private property, and that two parties were injured. Prior to my arrival Sergeants had arrived on scene. 

It was reported that operator1 was operating a personal watercraft with an 8 year old juvenile male riding as his passenger. The watercraft then capsized, injuring both parties. Several bystanders witnessed the crash and immediately entered the water to render aid to Operator and the juvenile. 

A bystander struggled in the water. Sergeants were first on scene and observed the juvenile male to be conscious and breathing at that time. They next observed Bystander partially in the water to be unconscious and unresponsive. Sergeant quickly pulled Bystander from the pond and got him to a dry and level portion of the adjacent grass, and immediately began CPR. Sergeant utilized his AED which was not advising a shock at that time.

Once on scene first responders took over rendering care to Bystander and the juvenile male. The juvenile male was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital via Mercy Flight for treatment. Operator was also transported to Strong Memorial Hospital as a precaution. Bystander was ultimately pronounced dead at 2050 hours by Dr.
