🌊 Auckland Welcomes ARM Cuauhtémoc: A Mexican Maritime Legend! 🌊
Auckland had the honor of hosting the iconic ARM Cuauhtémoc, the Mexican Navy’s stunning tall ship, from October 28 to November 1. Known as “The Ambassador and Knight of the Seas,” Cuauhtémoc isn’t just a ship; it’s a piece of Mexican heritage, named after the last Aztec emperor and designed to mirror classic tall ships. 🇲🇽✨
Built in 1982 and based on designs from the famous Blohm & Voss shipbuilders, Cuauhtémoc serves as an instructional vessel for the Mexican Navy, training fourth-year cadets in traditional sailing. During this 7-month global voyage, the ship is fostering international goodwill and unity—and its stop in New Zealand highlights the strong bond between our two nations.
