Investigation revealed: Vessel #1 was traveling northbound in the Point Pleasant canal.  After passing through the Rt 13 bridge the vessel was swamped by a large swell.  There was heavy boat traffic in the canal at the time of this accident.  Vessel #1 also had a strong incoming tide as it traversed through the canal.  Heavier than normal boat traffic this day was a contributing factor for larger than normal swells in the canal.  The Point Boro F.A.S.  Arrived at Point Station and treated several of the boaters for minor scrapes and bruises.  The other five occupants statements were identical to the one provided by the operator.  Sea Tow (732)312-2070. secured the vessel and towed same to Shermans Marina in Brick Twp.
