A boatswain’s mate aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Tahoma, helps a Haitian migrant down to a small boat before being repatriated to Haiti. The crew of the Tahoma received the 88 Haitian nationals from the crew of the CGC Hamilton after they were rescued from a 50-foot sail freighter that was taking on water 45 miles north of Isle de Tortue, Haiti.
