During the Cuban rafter crisis, between August 5 to September 13, 1994, more than 35,000 Cubans rode the Gulf Stream on a desperate journey to a new life in the United States. No corner of Cuba was untouched by the exodus.: Havana, Oriente, Matanzas. Out on the water, the rafters were subjected to pounding heat, 12-foot waves, and sharks. Most of these photographs were taken during August 1994 in Cojimar, on the east side of Havana.
