RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated: "We were going out the inlet and we got into shallow water. Waves began to hit the bow of the boat and pushed us sideways. We continued to get hit by waves and the boat then began to fill with water and capsized".
  
  Investigation at the scene revealed Vessel# 1 was attempting to exit Corson's Inlet located in Ocean City, Cape May County. It should be noted that the inlet was rough with large waves. As Operator #1 attempted to exit the inlet, Vessel #1 began to be struck by large waves, causing Vessel #1 to go sideways and continue to be struck by waves. Vessel #1 filled with water and capsized. Operator #1 and passengers entered the water and were later rescued by Strathmere Fire/Rescue. No injuries were observed or reported as a result of this accident. Vessel #1 was a complete loss as it sank to the sea floor in Corson's Inlet. Witness #1 and #2 had consistent statements as Operator #1. Operator #1 advised that he would notify his insurance company reference the salvage of his vessel. Due to the sea conditions I was unable to locate the sunken vessel. There were no signs of pollution as a result of this accident. The cause of this accident was due to the operation of the vessel in the rough sea conditions that exceeded its capabilities.
  
  Later this date it was learned that Vessel #1 was pushed by the strong currents onto the Strathmere beach where it was later recovered and removed.
