The Cuauhtémoc remains docked off Pier 37 as work crews shore up the ship’s three splintered masts before it taken to a nearby salvage yard.
The Cuauhtémoc, she explains, met strong currents and a possible mechanical issue trying to back out of the South Street Seaport, a tragedy that resulted in two cadet deaths (América Sánchez and Adal Jair Maldonado Marcos) and 19 injuries of the 277 people on board.
A 150-foot Mexican Navy ship collided with the Brooklyn Bridge, causing a dramatic rescue effort. The NYPD confirms no structural damage to the bridge.
