Cuauhtémoc

ARM Cuauhtémoc BE-01

On Monday, the Armada de Mexico ship Cuauhtémoc docked at pier 27. (Embarcadero x Battery) A training ship of the Barque class, it also serves as a goodwill ambassador to the ports it visits. It's 296.9' spared length, 220' 4" at the waterline, and can hold 186 officers and crew, with room for up to 90 trainees. When the time comes, it can raise sails on 3 masts and book.

Since it's on public display for the duration of its stay, it's decked out like a piñata. But underneath all the signs, fluffy yellow rigging protectors, and flags galore, is a tight, well built ship maintained in Bristol fashion.
