DIRECTOR of Immigration Jack Thompson yesterday confirmed that a boat carrying a group of Haitians ran aground near Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera. He said: "My information coming out of Freeport, Grand Bahama is there was a 40 foot fiber glass vessel that ran aground near the island. "There were 14 persons that were found in the commmunity; 12 men and two women. "We have already dispatched a team of officers from New Providence to Governor's Harbour, Eleuthra to question them. "We will find out how many persons were on the vessel and how long they were on the seas." Mr Thompson added that the type of vessel used surprised him, as it seemed to be an upgrade from the usual wooden sloop used to transport immigrants from Haiti.
