And how many are lost in tragic boating accidents but never reported due to the embarrassment of the owners.
Well, I for one have always been suspicious of those who claim some sort of boating accident.
OTOH, I suffered grievous weapons and ammo losses when hurricane Isabelle rolled up the Chesapeake Bay and inundated the lower floor of my home on the banks of the South River.
Just like that, at 4am, everything got sucked out into the bay south of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge...lock, stock, and barrel...
