RedactedNarrative: On Wednesday, May 1, 2019, I Cpl. was contacted by the Brunswick Office regarding a boating incident that had previously occurred.  The vessel owner wished to make a report of the incident.  I contacted the vessel owner and began investigating the incident.  
  
  	Owner advised that on Sunday, April 28, 2019 at approximately  1500 hours he and his Aunt had launched his vessel and were actively engaged in fishing in the Brunswick River between the old Lanier Bridge (fishing pier) and the Liberty Harbor ship launch.  Owner advised that a car carrier (ship) was passing through the shipping channel causing a wake that subsequently caused waves to break over the stern of his vessel and fill the boat with water causing his vessel to sink.  Both occupants were wearing PFD's and were in the water for approximately two minutes. Shortly thereafter a good Samaritan vessel that had four people on board assisted them into their vessel and returned them to the Lanier Park boat ramp.  Owner contacted sea tow for a possible recovery, but when Sea Tow was able to respond they were not able to locate the small vessel.  
  
  	The 14' Sunliner vessel was powered by a 50 HP Johnson 2 stroke outboard motor and also had a MinnKota foot controlled bow mount trolling motor on the vessel.  Other than the vessel, outboard motor and foot control trolling motor, Owner advised that he also lost various fishing gear and safety equipment that was on board.  No injuries were reported to me and medical attention was not needed for the occupants.  I also contacted Sea Tow Brunswick, whom advised that Owner had contacted them regarding the incident.  Sea Tow was unable to locate the sunken vessel.  Owner advised that the total value of the vessel and contents was approximately $2500.00.  
  
  	On Thursday, May 2, 2019, Cpl. was able to make contact with Owner to obtain pictures of the vessel and information for the boating incident report.  The information has been entered into the report at this time.
  
  End of Report.
