About Golden Venture

Golden Venture was a 147-foot-long (45 m) cargo ship that ran aground on the beach at Fort Tilden on the Rockaway peninsula of Queens, New York, United States, on June 6, 1993, at around 2 a.m. The ship had 13 crew members who were smuggling 286 undocumented immigrants from China (mostly Fuzhou people from Fujian province) to the U.S. The ship had sailed from Bangkok, Thailand, stopped in Kenya, rounded the Cape of Good Hope, then headed northwest across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City on its four-month voyage. Ten people drowned in their attempts to flee the ship and get to shore in the United States when it ran aground. The survivors were taken into custody by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and were held in various prisons throughout the U.S. while they applied for the right of asylum. Roughly 10% were granted asylum after U.S.
