No, it was there for a few days before heading on a world tour and was supposed to also be here next year on July 4 in honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
It is training vessel for Mexico but it looks like a pirate ship. It is an awful tragedy, some died. https://nypost.com/2025/05/17/us-news/new-yorkers-watch-in-horror-as-mexican-navy-ship-hits-brooklyn-bridge/ |

| Bad or no planning. The captain and top service members need to be fired. |

| Not all sailed vessels are pirate ships. |

| What happened, the engines died and it got caught in the current or something? Or was it the tugboat’s fault? |

Seems like it was the engine that failed. |

| Masts have a fixed height. The Brooklyn Bridge also has a fixed height. This should never have happened. When do the manslaughter charges get filed. |

Clearance can change based on water level. It's still a huge eff up, but it's not like driving a truck under a highway bridge. |

Definitely sue the city for not having warning signs or building a taller bridge. They have had plenty of time to do these things. |
