This is the 50ft sailing boat in which an amazing 242 desperate would-be migrants set off from Haiti to cross unknown waters seeking an imagined better life in the USA. Among the passengers were children, an infant, and a eight-month pregnant woman.

The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Diligence returned the Haitian migrants to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Thursday after the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Seneca located the grossly overloaded sail freighter about 25 miles west of Ile de la Tortue, Haiti, Monday night.
