Salute to the 'Granma'

Salute to the 'Granma'
On a wall in Vinales. Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Disembarkation of the 'Granma'. This was a boat that brought Fidel Castro and his brother, Raul, Che Guevara and 79 other revoltionaries, from Mexico to south-eastern Cuba, 1956. There they were pursued by government troops and only a dozen made it to the Sierra Muestre mountains. This was the sanctuary from which these few launched their successful overthrow of the Batista regime.
The vessel can be seen in the Museum of the Revolution (former presidential palace) in Havana.
