On July 23, 2019, at about 1500 local time, the recreational yacht Silver Lining hit a submerged rock southwest of the Hood Canal Bridge in Hood Canal, Washington. The vessel sustained damage to the hull, propellers, and rudders, and took on water. The eight people on board safely departed the vessel. The flooding could not be controlled, and a salvage company moved the vessel to shallow water, where it later sank. There were no reports of injuries or release of fuel oil into the marine environment. The property damage was determined to be $500,000.

​​The probable cause of the grounding and sinking of the recreational yacht Silver Lining was the vessel’s operator not properly determining the Silver Lining​’s position approaching the west span of the Hood Canal Bridge from the south, resulting in damage and uncontrolled flooding after striking the charted Sisters underwater shoal.
