Description:
The wide and deep rowboats used by Dominicans to cross the dangerous Mona Straits to the western coast of Puerto Rico are called yolas. Their captains are called yoleros and this name is sometimes applied to the passengers as well. This photo shows the depth of a yola and passengers are stacked within the hulls. It is common to have hundreds in a single yola.
