RedactedNarrative: On September 8, 2020 at approximately 1100 hours the Maryland Natural Resources Police, received a call for a boat accident that had previously occurred.  I made contact with the complainant, OPERATOR 1, who advised that he was fishing in the area of Love Point on Sunday September 6, 2020 at approximately 1230 hours when his Maryland registered vessel MD 3188 CG, a 2007 Chris Craft 22 Launch, was struck by a 1998 Insley Custom 44 foot workboat, with US Coast Guard Documentation 1067507 “Islander”.
  OPERATOR 1 stated that he was drifting while fishing, with the vessel not under power at which time he was struck on the rear port/swim platform area of his vessel by the bow of the workboat. Photographs were taken by OPERATOR 1 and forwarded due to the fact that the vessel was already trailered back to Montgomery County at the time of the call. 
  OPERATOR 1 stated that he spoke to the captain of the vessel,, who stated that he was trolling and had looked around the area before beginning to pull his lines at which time he struck OPERATOR 1’s vessel.  OPERATOR 1 stated that he did not see anyone in the pilot house of the vessel at the time of the collision. 
  On September 21, 2020 OPERATOR 1 made contact with me to state that he received an estimate for the damages in the area of $4,800.  I advised him that due to the extent of the monetary damages, it would be a reportable accident.  He was provided with a case number. 
  All events occurred in Queen Anne’s County, Maryland.
  A supplement will be completed with OPERATOR 1's insurance information and passenger information for the vessel "Islander".
