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.

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?

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!!!

I watched some video footage today of this incident. There were people hanging from the masts just dangling there. Thankfully those I could see were hanging from what looked like safety harness type equipment.
What did confuse me though was there was what appeared to be a Tug and it only seemed to be watching what was going on. There certainly did not appear to be any attempt to assist the ship.
