On 6/11/11 at approx. 0910 a 16' O.B vessel was anchored in the Ocean City Inlet. On board the vessel were 6 P.O.B.  They decided to pull the anchor and move to calmer waters and continue fishing. As one man was pulling the anchor line, the operator, moved the vessel forward. The vessels prop got tangled up in the anchor line and swung the vessel around stern- to, to the current. The vessel started taking on water and they were unable to cut the anchor line from the prop. As the vessel sank the men grabbed on to coolers , one man swam to shore and the operator, who evidently could not find anything to grab on to keep him afloat, drowned. None of the men were wearing P.F. D 's at the time of the accident and the victim could not swim.
