On 2/27/11 at approximately 1137 hrs I was dispatched to a vessel taking on water.  Upon arrival the vessel was heeled to starboard with its transom underwater and was being towed by a good Samaritan.  Within several minutes the vessel sunk with only its bow above water (see pictures).  One occupant of the vessel was aboard the coast guard vessel, the other was aboard a commercial dive boat, both uninjured.  A local salvage company was contacted and the victims were transported via USCG vessel to Coast Guard Station Islamorada.  I followed and commenced my interview of the victims at that time (approx 1249 hours).
