For those who have not read other threads I will, this time, be very explicit.
The device photo I posted was found on the day before the ferry explosion. It was found floating near the car ferry pier which is south of the main cruise ship pier. The captain opened it and found it contained an IED. The sticks were not flares, but of the type commonly used in mining. From another thread the chemicals were not HIGH Explosive, but any detonation, even fire works, in an enclosed space can produce ugly results—think pressure cooker bombs.
As instructed by the authorities our Captain took it to the new Fonatur marina where Mexican Marines detonated it.
The day after the Ferry explosion two more similar devices were found attached to the underside of one of the two idled Barcos Caribe boats which were anchored in front of the Cozumel Port Captains office. I have no idea if those were dummies or exactly the same as the one we found.
