Mexico training ship that hit Brooklyn Bridge returns home

BOULEVARD 24.11.2025

The Mexican naval training ship that crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge in May, leaving two crew members dead, returned home on Sunday to official fanfare in the port of Veracruz.

Text size:

Numerous sailors were positioned in the 150-foot-tall Cuauhtemoc's rigging when it smashed into the iconic bridge linking New York's Manhattan and Brooklyn boroughs. In addition to the two killed, about 20 sailors were injured.

At the ceremony in Veracruz, which featured a flyover, President Claudia Sheinbaum paid tribute to the two sailors killed, who were both in their early 20s.

Both US and Mexican investigators have launched probes into the crash.
