RedactedNarrative: On July 31, 2021, at approximately 1300 hours, Maryland Natural Resources Police, responded to the White Hall Marina located for the report of a subject losing a finger due to a vessel accident. 
  Upon arrival, I met with OPERATOR 1 in the back of an Anne Arundel County Fire / Rescue Ambulance - Medic 17. OPERATOR 1 advised that he and his family were returning to the Whitehall Marina from a day on the water. He was at the helm in the rear cockpit of the boat. He entered the fairway leading to his slip. He traveled down the fairway passing his slip. He then attempted to back his 1996 Beneteau Sailboat into his slip. He stated that he was unable to back it in on the first try and had to try again. He stated that on the second attempt he got too close to the piling, and the boat moored in slip. The boat in slip is described as Blue and White 1985 Catalina 27', bearing Maryland Registration 4921 AM. OPERATOR 1 stated he reached out with his right hand on the starboard side to fend off the piling and the bow pulpit of the Catalina. During his attempt to fend off, he got his right middle finger caught between the bow pulpit rail on the Catalina sailboat in slip and the starboard side, stern cockpit rail of his vessel. The incident caused the tip of his right middle finger to be cut off and held on by the flesh. 
  His wife standing in the rear cockpit, rendered first aid. His daughter positioned on the bow also came to the cockpit to assist with administering medical attention. The vessel was subsequently moved to the main pier where Anne Arundel Fire / Rescue Medic 17 personnel were waiting. OPERATOR 1 was transported to the Anne Arundel Medical Center for medical attention. 
  I responded to the Anne Arundel Medical Center and took statements from the Family.  After interviewing all involved it was determined no further actions would be taken. 
  There was no obvious sign of damage to either vessel.  
  All events occurred in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
