RedactedNarrative: While on patrol on June 24, 2014 at approximately 1851 hours, I was contacted in reference to a vessel taking on water off of Broadkill Beach, we were advised that there was one person in the water. I responded to Lewes from Georgetown to go underway. Upon arrival I was advised that everyone was out of the water and the boat had sunk. At approximately 1910 hours, Sgt. and I went underway and responded to the scene of the accident. Upon arrival to the scene we found Tow Boat U.S. on scene with a vessel that was partially submerged bow down. At this current point in time the only part of the vessel out of the water was the motor. Tow Boat U.S. advised that they had more help coming to recover and salvage the vessel. Sgt. and I secured responded to Broadkill Beach by land. We found that the owner of the vessel was staying at a rental property. I spoke with wife who advised that the vessel was her husband''s. She advised that the vessel was moored up with no one on board, when it took a couple of waves over the bow and began to sink. She advised that one of the neighbors swam out to the vessel to try to tie a line to it but was unsuccessful. 
  I spoke with the owner of the vessel on June 25, 2014 who advised me that all the electronics on his vessel were ruined and that the motor had also gone completely under. He also advised me that the vessel had an approximately 15 ft. anchor line on it when it was moored up.
