Mexican Tall Ship Arrives Monday

One the the world’s largest tall ships will grace the Bay next week. Mexico’s 270-ft cadet training vessel Cuauhtemoc is scheduled to sail beneath the Golden Gate Monday morning at 9 a.m., after completing a North Pacific passage from Asia. 

San Francisco is the final stop of a 19,000-mile, six-month goodwill mission to China, South Korea, Russia and Japan, before she returns to her Acapulco homeport. The public is invited to tour the ship and meet her crew, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday at Pier 27 on the San Francisco waterfront.

We hope to be out on the water to greet her Monday, and if you can break away from the rat race, we’d encourage you to join us. With nearly 100 cadets saluting from atop the ship’s many yardarms, her arrival is always a spectacular sight.
