While we were out for the Battle of the Atlantic service on Sunday, we caught the arrival of the Mexican Navy's sail training vessel, ARM
Cuauhtémoc. A sister-ship to
Gloria,
Simon Bolivar, and
Guayas, the barque is similar in design to the Blohm & Voss designs such as
Gorch Fock, USCGC
Eagle, and NRP
Sagres (
the latter visited about a year ago).

| If you look closely, you can see the sailors manning the yard arms. |

 |
| Cuauhtémoc pulled into Pier 24. |
Cuauhtémoc was open to the public over several days, and I managed to get onboard on the final day, Wednesday, before her departure.
 |
| As with many similar vessels, Cuauhtémoc was flying a huge ensign from the mizzen mast. |
 |
| Each stair tread bears the ship's name. |
