Wallpiece made in Cuba. Made from shells shell-grit. On the bottom right it says: Cuba and there is the communistic star. The ship is the yacht “Granma”.
Granma is a yacht that was used to transport 82 fighters of the Cuban Revolution from Mexico to Cuba in November 1956 to overthrow the regime of Fulgencio Batista. The yacht is said to have been named for the previous owner’s grandmother.
Batista predicted correctly that the landing would occur, and his troops were ready. Consistently, the landing party was bombarded by helicopters and airplanes soon after landing. Many casualties ensued, most of them during battle at Alegría de Pío further inland. The survivors continued to the foot of Pico Turquino in the Sierra Maestra to perform guerilla war.
