The collision of the Cuauhtémoc, a Mexican Navy training ship, with the Brooklyn Bridge was a tragic event that resulted in two deaths and numerous injuries. Captain Boomies, a seasoned mariner, clarified that the ship was not attempting to pass under the bridge but was instead backing out from the South Street Seaport. She attributed the incident to strong tidal currents and possible mechanical failures, highlighting the limited docking options available for tall ships in New York Harbor, which exacerbates such dangerous situations.
Cuauhtémoc, while leaving the South Street Seaport, faced strong currents and potential mechanical issues, leading to a tragic collision with the Brooklyn Bridge.
Notably, tall ships like the Cuauhtémoc have limited docking options in New York City, making their maneuvers particularly challenging in adverse conditions.
