A Mexican navy sailing ship on a global goodwill tour struck the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, snapping its three masts, killing two crew members and leaving some sailors dangling from harnesses high in the air waiting for help.
The Mexican navy tall ship that struck the Brooklyn Bridge late Saturday has set sail annually for the last four decades as the culmination of its cadets’ training in a transcontinental journey. The Cuauhtémoc first set sail in July 1982 across the Atlantic from Spain to Mexico.
