On Sunday, October 24, 1982, the charter fishing boat JOAN LA RIE III was returning from a sportfishing trip when it was struck by a big wave about 8.5 nautical miles east of Manasquan Inlet, New Jersey, about 1116. The boat was swamped, and about 1146 it sank. Of the 22 persons onboard, both crewmembers and 4 passengers were drowned; 2 passengers are missing and are presumed dead. The property loss was estimated at $20,000. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the sinking of the JOAN LA RIE III was the flooding of the hull through the cockpit access hatches to the steering gear when the unsecured hatch covers were dislodged or floated off after the boat was heeled and the cockpit flooded by a big wave.
