CUBANS RIDE ON 1951 CHEVROLET TRUCK RAFT BEING USED IN ATTEMPT TO REACH
THE US.
Cuban migrants trying to reach the U.S. coast in Florida ride in and on a
1951 Chevrolet truck, converted into a marine vessel with air-filled drums
for flotation and a propeller driven off the driveshaft for propulsion, July
16, 2003. The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Key Largo repatriated 12 Cuban
migrants riding in and on the vehicle back to Cuba after they were notified
by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement aircraft that they had located the
floating flatbed truck. The truck was sunk as a hazard to navigation.
