Mexican Navy Tall Ship Cuauhtémoc Strikes the Brooklyn Bridge

Backing out from Pier 17 with 277 people aboard, the Mexican Navy training ship drifted astern into the Brooklyn Bridge, breaking the tops of all three masts; two cadets were killed and at least 19 people injured.

The three-masted training ship, built in 1982, had an air draft of 158 ft; the Brooklyn Bridge's clearance at mean high water is 127 ft^[1]
The departure from Pier 17 was timed for slack tide, with cadets standing in formation on the yards and a tug assisting; the ship moved astern and its speed rose from 3.3 to 5.1 knots as the pilot called for more tugs^[1]
At 20:24:42 the mizzen, main and fore masts struck the underside of the bridge one by one at about 5.9 knots astern, and the stern then hit the seawall on the Brooklyn side^[1]
The NTSB counted two deaths and 19 injuries among the 277 crew and cadets and put damage above $500,000; the Coast Guard declared a major marine casualty and the NTSB led the investigation^[1]
Mayor Eric Adams said the ship suffered a mechanical mishap, and an NYPD official said it apparently lost steering power and was pulled into the bridge by the current^[3]
Mexico's government named the two cadets killed as Adal Jair Marcos and América Yamilet Sánchez, and its bulletin put the injured at 22^[2]
