RE: Acapulco Bay: Cool Tall Ships Enter the Bay for the Holidays
The three masted barque sailing ship is part of the Mexican navy and is manned by cadets. Every year it's here in Acapulco for the New Years celebration (being it's owned by the government it is essentially a pirate ship). It's named the Cuauhtémoc and is actually a relatively modern ship built in 1982 in Spain. It has a steel hull and a modern propulsion system to augment the sails.
Thanks! I'd love to own it LOL.
