Photograph of Cuban Refugees - USCGC Ingham Operating in Florida Straits. A rescue launch from the Coast Guard Cutter INGHAM returns to the ship with a group of Cuban refugees who were stranded on a small coral island 14 miles off the coast of Cuba. These refugees were first sighted from a Coast Guard plane, whereupon a radio call through the 7th Coast Guard District Search and Rescue Center, Miami, Fla., notified the INGHAM of the distressed Cubans while the cutter was operating in the Florida Straits. The 327-ft. Cutter INGHAM is based at Norfolk, Va.
