RedactedNarrative: On June 21, 2019, at approximately 9:40am, I CPL received a call for a vessel overturned under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Queen Anne's County, MD.  It was reported that a 21 foot vessel carrying 5 people had overturned and all 5 people were in the water. SGT and I responded by vessel, however while en route Coast Guard reported that all 5 subjects had been recovered by Good Samaritan vessels nearby, and were transporting them to Hemingway's Restaurant. 
  
  Upon arrival to Hemingway's, all 5 subjects were being evaluated by EMS and all signed a refusal of treatment. All subjects reported that they did not have any injures and did not want to be transported to the hospital for evaluation. 
  
  The owner of the vessel reported that while fishing under the Bay Bridge they had several issues with trying to anchor the vessel but at some point the anchor held between pilings 52 and 53. The vessel was a 2003 21 foot Seapro, white in color and registration displayed VA 7594 BT. 
  
  All stated that the vessel had several issues anchoring and was a small vessel to be out in the very rough waters and winds. They stated that there were three strong waves over the vessel and it capsized. Good Samaritans were able to recover three of the subjects, while another good samaritan recovered the remaining two, one of which did not have a life jacket. 
  
  The weather conditions that day per NOAA were a small craft advisory, Northwest winds 15 to 20 knots, and gusts up to 30 knots. Waves were reported to be 2-3 foot high. While responding to their location, the winds were very strong and waves were around 3-5 feet high. 
  
  The vessel was recovered by TowBoat US and towed into Sandy Point State Park, where they were able to get the vessel upright and onto their trailer. 
  
  Pictures of the vessel are attached to this report.
  
  All events occurred in Queen Anne's County, MD.
  
  This case is closed.
