RedactedNarrative: On 8/23/19 between 1830-hours and 1900-hours Operator # 1 launched Vessel # 1 from Edgewater Park Marina in Cleveland, Ohio in Cuyahoga County. 
  
  Operator # 1 exits the Edgewater Cut North into Lake Erie open water and observes a disabled jet ski off the port side of Vessel # 1. Operator # 1 switches Vessel # 1 astern to aid the disabled jet ski. 
  
  Operator # 1 acknowledges that they are drifting close to the breakwater on the north side of Edgewater Marina with the wind direction NE. 
  
  Operator # 1 switches Vessel # 1 to forward gear, but Vessel # 1 does not respond to the apparent change in gear or apparent application of throttle. Vessel # 1 then drifts into the North Breakwater of the Edgewater Marina with the starboard side to the rocks. Occupants 1-4 then exit the craft onto the rocks with help from fisherman on shore. Operator # 1 and Occupant # 2 attempt to keep the vessel from crashing repeatedly into the rocks but are unable to keep the vessel from doing so as it continues to drift west. Vessel # 1 then spins °180 and is now against the North Breakwater with its port side against the rocks and continuing to drift west. Vessel # 1 continues to drift west until it reaches a walkway from the North Lot at Edgewater Park approximately 200 yards east of the Edgewater Pier in position N°41’29.567” W°81’44.141” where it is secured with lines to the rocks at approximately 2106-hours. After a rise in wind speed, wave height and repeatable crashing into the rocks for several hours, the hull of Vessel # 1 suffers a catastrophic failure and begins to take on water. Vessel # 1 begins to swamp and ultimately capsizes at 2257-hours. Vessel # 1 is then found on Edgewater Beach on 08/24/19 at approximately 0800-hours capsized and aground.
