RedactedNarrative: On July 17, 2018 I was made aware of a subject that wished to report a boat accident. I contacted the communications center and learned that a subject had contacted the communications center and wanted to report a vessel accident that had occurred on July 7, 2018. Subject1 had faxed an old USCG form 3865 to the communications center with details concerning the collision.
   I contacted Subject1 via telephone. He advised that he was traveling in the Isle of Wight Bay near marker WR 13. He advised that he struck something hard causing considerable damage to his vessel. Subject1 believed that the object he had hit was the remnants of the piling that had supported the old navigational marker. He stated that the vessel was now out of the water and being worked on at 66th Street, Ocean City. He advised that he was currently in New Jersey and would not be back in the area for several weeks.
   I had Ofc. respond to 66th street to locate and photograph the vessel. He was able to locate the vessel which was a 2016 Chaparral displaying a Maryland registration of 1550 CS. Ofc. observed a lot of damage to the underside of the vessel as well as the engine. He photographed the damage and spoke with several people working on the vessel. They estimated the damage to vessel to be approximately $20,000.
   I provided Subject1 with a case number for the collision. I also requested the information for all people onboard the vessel. Subject1 advised that he would send that to me at a later date. I will add a supplement when that is received.  On July 19, 2018 I requested the a dive team mission to attempt to locate and mark the submerged object near WR 13 in the Isle of Wight Bay. All of the above events occurred in Worcester County, Maryland
