At least 17 Haitians, including a little girl, died, and as many as 15 people are believed to be missing after the 30-foot speedboat they were traveling on to Miami, Florida, capsized seven miles off New Providence shortly after 1 a.m. yesterday, authorities said.
The victims – 15 women, one man and a girl, who was believed to be between four and five – were among the 50 to 60 people on the vessel when it overturned as a result of rough seas after leaving an area west of the Fish Fry in Nassau.
