A partially burned raft with a Cuban police uniform arrived this Sunday, without occupants, on the sand of Miami Beach. This is the most emblematic beach in the state of florida (United States), which caused surprise among the bathers who were in the area.
Cuban journalist and filmmaker Manuel Zayas, who witnessed the arrival of the raft on the beach, posted photos of the precarious vessel on social media, showing signs of having suffered a major fire.
He said the raft reached North Miami Beach, at 89th and Collins streets, and that some objects could be distinguished. Among those were shoes, food remains and an officer’s uniform of the National Revolutionary Police.
The practically intact uniform bore the number 39762 and was next to a whistle.
Zayas indicated that no human remains could be seen on the raft that arrived at the popular Florida beach. Bathers recorded the unusual situation with their phones.
Today’s arrival of the raft in Miami Beach coincides with the news that a total of 27 Cuban rafters were detained this weekend by US authorities in the Florida Keys, off the southern tip of that state in the southeastern United States.
