Another bridge hit by ship
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...omotional-tour
Saw this ship under full sail some years ago when I was working on the mexican west coast running fuel from Salina cruz up to ports on the west coast. Beautiful sight she was.

Re: Another bridge hit by ship
Looks like the port authority of New York were as well prepared for a bridge incident as the port authority of Baltimore were.
Do not know what actually happened but why was there not an escort tug with her? Assume she was not supposed to sail under the bridge if so did no one check the Air draft. Now will Trump dare to have the master of the Cuauhtémoc arrested, is he not an officer of the Mexican Navy?

Re: Another bridge hit by ship
I think they just put bridges in so some idiot on a ship of some kind can run into them.
Been quite a few of late, maybe need to go back to sea school!!!
Happy daze John in Oz.
