About This Trend
Cuauhtémoc is a Mexican Navy tall ship, a sail training vessel with a crew of 277, mostly cadets, built at the Celaya Shipyards in Bilbao, Spain in 1981.
The ship is currently trending due to a maritime incident that occurred on May 17, 2025, when the Cuauhtémoc collided with the Brooklyn Bridge during a sailing maneuver on a training exercise, resulting in 19 injuries and significant damage to the ship.
