„Cuban Chugs“

from the gallery of John Bailey
Description:

This is one of the actual boats used by Cubans during the crossings of the Florida Straits. These kind of boats are called "Chugs" apparently for the sounds they make as they are "chugging " along. Several chugs are on display at the Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden. It is sobering to think of the many Cubans who successfully and unsuccessfully embarked on the 90 mile journey that separates the Keys from Cuba.
