RedactedNarrative: While on duty in Wicomico County on July 1, 2017 at approximately 1352, I, Officer,  received a call from NRP Communications Center of a vessel taking on water in the Wicomico River with six persons on board. I arrived on scene at approximately 1426 on vessel NRP 841.  The vessel had collided with a section of submerged dredge pipeline that had broken away from its mooring. After striking the pipeline, the vessel began taking on water.  
  
  The vessel became partially submerged in water due to water coming in from the broken outdrive area. All persons were transported to the Webster Cove Marina via Mt. Vernon Rescue Unit.  Another vessel had the disabled vessel in tow, which was in the process of being de-watered.  Upon the victims arrival at the Webster Cove Marina, Sgt. met with the victims and gathered all identification information. The Dredge company was notified of the drifting pipeline and responded to secure it back to its mooring along the shoreline. I remained on location with the drifting pipeline which was at a position of N 38-14.541 / W 75-51.478 near day marker 15A. No injuries to the victims were noted.  The vessel sustained damage to the lower unit and broken brackets to the lower unit, photos are attached.  The damage is estimated at $5,197.89.  This incident occurred in Wicomico County.
