Cuban Rafts

History
6
A raft washed ashore in Volusia County in 1989, and clothing found onboard suggests that children were among those on it. An orange life vest left behind by the Coast Guard indicates that these refugees were rescued at sea. Another raft washed ashore in 1994. The ninety-mile Florida Straits between Cuba and South Florida are treacherous, and the fate of the individuals aboard that raft is unknown.
