A Float Plan is a document that can be filled in before a person is heading out on their boat for leisure, fishing etc.

It provides details on the reason of going on a boat, the route plan, estimated time of departure and arrival back to the port etc.

In case of an emergency, e.g. if a storm, a distress signal it sent or simply the boat does not arrive for hours, the Coast Guard will have a head start into figuring out the path of the boat and where to carry out the rescue mission.


These are especially helpful for old smaller boats which do not have latest SatNav technologies are more prone to the dangers of the sea.

What was required of immigrants processed at angel island but not those processed at Ellis island?
notka56 [123]

Excessive interrogations and crosschecking from other family members  was required of immigrants processed at angel island but not those processed at Ellis island.

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

The immigrants at Ellis Island were treated more fairly as compared to those that tried to immigrate through Angel Island. The interrogations at Ellis Island were small which were preceded by a minute’s worth of physical checking and evaluation, which needed to be passed to move onto the part where the inspector checked their documents and cross-questioned lightly.

The whole process took way less than it took on Angel Island. At Angel island, the physical evaluation process was the same, but they had to go through a gruelling amount and difficulty of questions, after which they were verified from any family members that already lived in America. Through Angel Island, the whole process of immigration took about months of preparation in advance, and any difference in the testimony of the family members and the applicant led to excessive difficulty in the procedure and risked deportation as well.
