Boating data — Uplink Archive

The IRE and NICAR Database Library has updated its U.S. Recreational Boating Accident Database through 2005, containing information on boating incidents resulting in deaths or significant injuries across four data tables, though California data is excluded due to state restrictions on record release.

The IRE and NICAR Database Library recently updated its U.S. Recreational Boating Accident Database.

Current through 2005, the database contains information on recreational boating incidents that resulted in a death or an injury that required more than just first aid. It consists of four tables (Prime, Dead, Injury and Vessel) and also lists vessel damage that costs more than $2,000 to repair. For the first time, the database does not include data for California because the state declined to allow the Coast Guard to release the records.
