RedactedNarrative: On October 3rd, 2021 at approximately 2:45 PM, I responded to a vessel taking on water in the Eastern Bay near Greenwood Creek. Heading to the vessel in question, Queen Anne’s County Fire advised the 4 subjects that were in the water have made it safely onto a Good Samaritans vessel with no injuries. I arrived on scene and observed a white boat with a blue bimini top completely submerged in roughly six feet of water. I made contact with the Good Samaritan’s vessel and observed OP1 and three passengers onboard all wearing life jackets. I asked OP1  what happened to his vessel (28ft, White, Regal Marine). He stated that when he and the girls were tubing, he started to notice engine failure. Once the engine completely cut off, that’s when he noticed the bilge area completely full of water. Once he observed the water flooding into the boat, he put the children along with any valuables into the tubing raft. He then jumped into the raft himself and waited for help to arrive. It is still unclear to why the vessel started taking on water. OP1 stated that he did not hit anything with the vessel causing damage, just that it started taking on water by itself. All occupants were wearing life jackets at the time the vessel was sinking. OP1 and the three girls received a ride back to the marina they came from in Prospect Bay on the Good Samaritans vessel.
  
  Once back on land, I met with OP1 at his residence to gather more information for the report. OP1 was already on the phone with Tow Boat U.S. to get it removed from navigable waters. Before leaving the scene I did take the tubing raft and affixed it onto the sunken vessel to alert other boaters of the sunken vessel.
  
  There were no injuries. OP1 stated the vessel was at a complete loss valuing at approximately $25,000.
  
  All events occurred in Queen Anne’s County, Maryland.
