Granma, Museum ship at Museum of the Revolution, Havana, Cuba

The Granma vessel measures 19.2 meters in length and 4.76 meters in width, constructed as a light armored target practice boat in Brooklyn.

The yacht transported 82 revolutionary fighters from Mexico to Cuba in November 1956, including Fidel Castro, Raúl Castro, and Che Guevara.

The vessel stands as a central symbol of the Cuban Revolution, with December 2nd marked as the Day of the Cuban Armed Forces.
