RedactedNarrative: Vessel hit charted submerged object 
  On May 13th, 2019, LT informed me of the report of a boating accident that occurred on May 2nd, 2019.  He explained that the owner of the vessel had reported it to the US. Coast Guard on the day of the incident and we needed to do a follow up investigation. I called Subject and interviewed him over the phone.  He told me he lived in Slocomb, Alabama and had been on vacation at Shell Island Fish Camp in St Marks Florida when the accident occurred on May  2nd, 2019. He told me, at approximately 8:30 AM, he was navigating his vessel out of the channel from the St. Marks Light House Boat Ramp heading to the main channel for the St Marks River.  His vessel had just attained planing speed when he hit a submerged object.  None of the occupants on his vessel was hurt but there was damage to the hull and the engines lower unit had been sheered off. He described the object that he hit was an old steel barge on the edge of the main channel.  He was upset that it was not marked with a sign.  He told me he had called the US Coast Guard, and FWC to report the hazard.  He told me his vessel was at Legendary Marine in Destin Florida for repairs. I researched  the chart for the St. Marks River, NOAA Chart 11406,  and identified the charted wreck.  The wreck lies outside the channel and is exposed at low tide.  Coast Pilots Manual #5 describes the wreck has a hazard to navigation.
