Soviets leave Mariel During the Cuban missile crisis, the Soviets used Mariel as a transit point for nuclear warheads. The warheads were brought to Mariel on board the Indigirka on October 4. This photograph, taken on November 5, 1962, shows nuclear warhead vans lining up on the dock at Mariel to board a Soviet freighter. The warheads were stored at Bejucal, south of Havana.
