RedactedNarrative: On July 26, 2018 at approximately 2130hrs, I arrived on scene at Ego Alley in Annapolis to a reported boat accident. Witnesses at the scene state that a vessel, approximately 36ft in length Monk Trawler, documented name of "No Limits" with Fells Point as the homeport, was travelling south out of Ego Alley at approximately 3 to 5 knots when it struck a docked Boston Whaler, MD 2861 CE. Witnesses stated that the operator of the trawler left the helm for approximately 30 seconds and, during that time, the vessel veered to its starboard and struck the docked Boston Whaler. Witnesses describe the impact as "very audible." Witnesses stated the vessel did not stop and proceeded to exit Ego Alley. According to witnesses, after a few moments, the vessel re-entered Ego Alley and the operator appeared to look at vessel but, the vessel then proceeded to exit Ego Alley again.
   The owner of the vessel that was struck was not present. A search of the local establishments was unsuccessful.  Baltimore City Police Department was contacted so as to pass along vessel description incase the suspect vessel was headed towards the Fells Point area. Baltimore City Police has had prior dealings with this vessel and provided the owner's name.
   While investigating Liberty Marina, a call was received regarding a boat accident in the South River,  (this incident will be investigated and documented under a separate report). The vessel involved with was the same vessel that witnesses stated struck the docked Boston Whaler in Ego Alley. Operator1 was provided the opportunity to write a voluntary statement, which he agreed to do. In the statement, Operator1 admitted to striking the vessel and leaving, but also indicated in the statement that he did attempt to locate the owner and observe for damage on the struck vessel (which Operator1 indicated he observed neither). Operator1 made several remarks indicating he has vision issues (he kept mentioning needing his reading glasses), but no specific condition was disclosed.
   Based on witness statements, and voluntary statements provided by Operator1, Operator1 was  charged, via citation, with the following: MR 08.18.01.04A - Violation USCG Nav Rules (proper lookout);  MR 08.18.01.05B - Negligent Operation
   The owner of the Boston Whaler was successfully contacted at a later time and informed of the incident. He was advised to inspect his vessel and contact me with any damage estimates.  Further supplements to follow, pending damage estimates from subject, and any other relevant information collected.
