HAVANA TIMES — A cruise ship rescued 41 Cubans on a small boat who were trying to reach the United States, informed the US Coast Guard Service in Miami, reported dpa.
The rescue took place when the boat was spotted on Tuesday night. The Coast Guard later confirmed that the Cubans were without life vests or navigation equipment.
