RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated to the effect: We were finishing up fishing for the day and just started to head back across the river to the ramp, when I heard something snap behind me. I turned around and the motor was hanging off and water was rushing into the boat. It all happened in like 30 seconds. The boat sank fast, and we swam to the shoreline". 
  
  Investigation Revealed: Vessel #1 was traveling west in the Old Canal heading towards the Delaware River, when due to a unknown reason, the vessel's outboard motor became compromised and partly detached itself from the transom, causing the vessel to rapidly take on water. 
  
  Operator #1 and the passenger left the vessel and swam to the south shoreline. As the vessel drifted east and south from the center of the waterway, it became completely submerged, coming to a final rest approximately 10 ft. off the south shoreline and 150 feet west of the Delaware River. 
  
  There were no reported injuries. As a result of Vessel #1 being completely submerged, no damaged was able to be observed. 
  Boarding Report 08-93B was completed as a result of the accident.
