RedactedNarrative: On August 28, 2014 at approximately 7:10 PM I arrived by boat to Mezick Pond at Sandy Point State Park for a report of a vessel taking on water.  I saw a large cabin cruiser submerged to the top of its gunwales and sitting on bottom at the fishing pier in Mezick Pond.  There was no petroleum sheen on the surface of the water surrounding the vessel.  
  
  I met with the owner/operator of the vessel and he told me that they were cruising from Annapolis to Middle River when he felt a vibration in the vessel as they were approaching the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.  He opened the engine compartment and saw that the vessel was taking on water.  He operated the vessel into Mezick Pond and secured it to the fishing pier before it sunk further.  Operator and the 6 other persons on board were uninjured.
  
  Off. and I deployed an absorbent boom around the vessel to absorb any fuel/oil that may leak.
  
  On August 29, 2014 I met with TowBoat U.S. recovery as they re-floated the vessel and towed it to Port Annapolis for haul-out.  The TowBoat U.S. diver told me that he observed a blade missing from the starboard propeller and a strut on the starboard drive shaft was broken, leaving a hole in the bottom of the hull.  This hole led to the flooding of the vessel.  operator told me that he did not feel his vessel strike any object, he only felt a vibration.
  
  All Boat & Yacht Inspections, LLC was the marine surveyor on scene.  He told me the damage estimate was at least $100,000 and the vessel is a total loss.
  
  All events occurred in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
