Nearly 220 Haitian men, women and children, sought safety in the water as their severely overloaded and crowded wooden vessel ran aground near the coast of Key Largo, Fla. Multiple agencies responded to the emergency and Coast Guard small boats assisted in transferring the Haitian migrants to a waiting cutter. Despite a few injuries, most migrants were repatriated to Haiti. US Coast Guard Art Program 2023 Collection, Ob Id # 202318, Hard aground, Daniel Coolbrith Jones, oil, 20x24.
