The accident involving the training ship Cuauhtemoc at the Brooklyn Bridge has shocked Mexican society, where two cadets from the Naval College were killed in the accident. They were America Yamilet Sanchez and Adal Jair Marcos, two young people enthusiastic about the sea and sports.
It should be noted that the training ship arrived in New York on Tuesday, May 13, and on Saturday, May 17, it sailed along the East River when its main mast hit the Brooklyn Bridge. Reports of this event indicate a miscalculation by the ship’s captain of the dimensions between the water and its horizontal structure due to a three-meter increase in the tide, which caused the collision.

Cheerful, charismatic and passionate about getting to know the world. This is how America Yamilet Sanchez was described, one of the young Mexican naval cadets who died in the accident of the boat in Brooklyn Bridge, who was identified on Sunday after the tragedy that occurred on Saturday night.
Born in Xalapa, Veracruz, she was a member of the Mexican Social Security Institute’s “Veracruz Norte” swimming team. She won several national and even international medals in amateur tournaments. However, her greatest passion was to see the world and this journey was aimed at calling at 22 ports in 15 different countries. However, her dream was thwarted, but her traveling spirit will keep her on the journey.

Young Marcos lived on the seas. He had been on board the ship for the past nine months and had traveled the world on the high seas, from Hawaii and Tokyo to New Zealand and Australia. After a long time without setting foot on dry land, the cadet from Salina Cruz in Oaxaca was not worried about how many days he would be at sea, because his life was in the oceans.
Who made up the crew of the Cuauhtemoc training ship?
The Naval College ship was manned by 277 crew members on board: 213 men and 64 women, mostly young cadets from the Heroica Escuela Naval Militar, the Mexican Navy’s officer training academy based in the fishing village of Anton Lizardo, Veracruz.
The Cuauhtemoc School Ship set sail from the island of Cozumel, Quintana Roo, on May 4, to begin its planned 170-day voyage that would visit 22 ports in 15 countries to commemorate the so-called “Bicentennial of the Consolidation of Independence of the Seas”, the expulsion by the Mexican navy of the last of the Spanish strongholds in Mexico.
