Riviera Maya, Q.R. — Mexico’s Velero Cuauhtémoc training ship docked in New York Tuesday. A group of Mexico’s young sailors docked in the American city during their school ship sail on Cuauhtémoc.

Since 1982, Cuauhtémoc has sailed the world’s seas to carry the Mexican message of peace and goodwill to countless nations. The ship has docked in hundreds of ports to serve as one of Mexico’s most important ambassadors.
On Tuesday, Cuauhtémoc and her Mexican Navy Cadets visited New York, one of the world’s most iconic cities and headquarters of the United Nations.
“As ambassador, she inspires with her message of peace and goodwill, a symbol of a Mexico committed to dialogue, international cooperation, and culture as a bridge between nations.
“Our training ship is much more than a ship: it is the friendly face of our country, carrying with it the values, pride, and warmth of every Mexican to every port it visits,” the Navy of Mexico said.

The Cadets on board are working to become the future officers of the Mexican Navy.
