RedactedNarrative: The watercraft was seen sinking after hitting a breakwall near the lift bridge in Duluth. The Coast Guard arrived on scene and saw the 5 occupants were not in any immediate danger as the boat had stabilized, and did not approach as the occupants were intoxicated, and the rocks would have wrecked the USCG's boat. 
  
  County Deputies arrived on scene and the boat occupants alleged that the boat's owner was driving as a sober party, and an intoxicated party was navigating. 
  
  The occupants also said the lighthouse was out, which made navigation more difficult. The occupants were brought back to shore and there were no injuries. The watercraft ended up being about 75% submerged. Life jackets were not being worn. It is unknown if life jackets were on board because the boat sank. The watercraft had just been purchased the previous day. The watercraft was a total loss.
