RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated : I was asked to leave Gardeners Basin Marina so I took my boat and was trying to go to Philadelphia. I realized that my boat was taking on water so I dropped the anchor near Drag Island and before I knew it my boat was sinking to fast. I called for help and I was taken to shore by a good samaritan. 
  
  Investigation revealed: Vessel #1 was traveling South in Great Egg Harbor Bay, at which time vessel #1 began to take on water and sink fast. Vessel #1 still remains at this location. Several attempts were made to contact the owner to remove the vessel from the water, all efforts were met with negative results. It should be noted that the vessel# 1 outboard engine is completely submerged, no fuel or oil was observed in the water. The interior of the house boat has been completely submerged as well.
