On the morning of 5/17/11, five men were underway in  24' outboard vessel off of Bloody Point in the Chesapeake Bay. The bilge pump stopped operating and the the rough seas were breaking over the sides. The operator turned the vessel to head back in, and then the engine cut out. They were unable to get the engine started and the vessel began to fill with water due to the rough seas coming over the sides. All passengers donned life jackets and then the vessel capsized. A good samaritan picked them up and took them in. The vessel sank to water level and was later towed to shore by a volunteer fire dept. and tied off and then a private citizen had hauled it up closer to shore.
