  Investigation Revealed: Upon arrival on scene, I was met by subject who reports he went fishing with the vessel on July 3, 2020 and returned to the dock at approximately 1500 hours (Incoming tide). He secured the boat in its slip and went out for dinner. When he returned at approximately 2000 hours, the bow of the boat was stuck under the dock and taking on water (High tide). Subject reports he was told it was too late to save the boat and it eventually sunk in its slip. 
  
  While in the water, a preliminary inspection of Vessel #1 was conducted. There was no apparent physical damage observed to the hull. A check of the water in the area around Vessel #1 was conducted. The incident did not have any environmental effect on the river and no spills were observed. Furthermore, I spoke with the owner of the vessel, who is actively looking for a company to recover the sunken vessel. He reports he has secured a company to remove it on July 6, 2020. 
  No suspicious activity was observed and this investigation is considered closed.
