Mexican Tall Ship Crashes into Brooklyn Bridge

On May 18, 2025, a 147-foot Mexican tall ship collided with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. The incident occurred as the ship, carrying 277 people, was departing from New York following a goodwill visit. A bystander's video shows dozens of sailors clinging to the ship's masts as it approached the bridge. "It was quite a sight," said one eyewitness. "The ship was so big, and the sailors were all over the masts." Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, and the ship was able to safely continue its journey to Iceland. The incident highlights the importance of navigational safety in busy waterways.
