RedactedNarrative: The listed individuals were transporting the vessel from Florida to New York. They had arrived in the Chesapeake Bay after an ocean journey from Oregon Inlet. The owner stated that seas were rough and the boat seemed to handle it well. He did notice, however, that the stuffing boxes were dripping a little more than when they had started their voyage. Early the next morning the vessel started taking on water through the stuffing boxes at an alarming rate. They were rescued by a good Samaritan and U.S. Coast Guard. The vessel sank completely, and was removed by Crofton Diving Corporation.
