RedactedNarrative: ON 8/29/2009, I RECEIVED A CALL OF A SUBMERGED VESSEL IN THE AREA OF RED MARKER 62 IN THE ICW BETWEEN MARCO ISLAND AND NAPLES. UPON ARRIVAL I OBSERVED SEA TOW ALREADY ON SCENE ASSISTING THE VESSEL. THE VESSEL WAS LEANING OVER WITH IT'S STARBOARD SIDE IN THE WATER. THE VESSEL WAS FULL OF WATER. THERE WERE TWO PERSONS ON BOARD. THE OPERATOR ADVISED THAT THEY WERE TRAVELING SOUTH THROUGH THE ICW, AND AS ANOTHER VESSEL PASSED HIM HE SAW SOMETHING IN THE WAKE OF THE OTHER VESSEL. THE OBJECT APPEARED TO BE SOLID, AND AS HE WENT OVER THE WAKE OF THE OTHER VESSEL THEY HIT THE UNKNOWN OBJECT AND HIS VESSEL PULLED TO THE LEFT. V1 OPERATOR ATTEMPTED TO TURN AROUND AND HEAD BACK TO THE BOAT RAMP, BUT THE VESSEL STARTED TAKING ON TOO MUCH WATER. UPON INSPECTION OF THE HULL THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE NEAR THE TRANSOM ON THE PORT SIDE OF THE HULL. SEA TOW PLUGGED THE HOLE AND PUMPED THE WATER OUT. THE VESSEL WAS TOWED TO THE BAYVIEW PARK BOAT RAMP AND REMOVED IT FROM THE WATER.
