| Additional information |
The Granma was the yacht that carried Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and 80 other revolutionaries from Tuxpan, Mexico to the eastern coast of Cuba in late November 1986 — the landing itself, on December 2, 1956, went badly. Cuban government forces detected the group almost immediately, and the majority were killed or captured within days. The handful of survivors who escaped into the Sierra Maestra became the nucleus of the guerrilla campaign that eventually toppled Batista in January 1959.
The 30th anniversary of that landing prompted this issue. The vessel itself was preserved and is displayed permanently in Havana.
