Vessel 1 was travelling eastbound approximately 200 yards north of the breakwall when it struck an unknown submerged object.  Upon striking the object Vessel 1 began taking on a large amount of water through the starboard side.  The Operator of Vessel 1 was able to pilot Vessel 1 to the Lorain Lighthouse where Vessel 1 was attached by a stern line to the shore.  Vessel 1 was entirely submerged within 10-15 minutes of being tethered.
