Each line is an incident investigation the Coast Guard recorded with this hull among the vessels involved, with the date and the classification the Coast Guard gave it, and the bridge, lock or dam the investigation names where it names one. Involvement is not fault. The investigation narrative is not published. Source: IIR, through 2026.

Recorded names · 1

LEAH CALLAIS (2001–2005). Names as the Coast Guard recorded them in incident records, with the years they appear; some are renames and some are spelling variants.
