On May 17, 2025, a Mexican naval vessel named Cuauhtémoc collided with the Brooklyn Bridge, scraping its masts and injuring numerous passengers, with at least 19 in critical condition. The ship, part of a global tour visiting various countries, raised concerns yet reported no significant damage to the bridge itself. Traffic was halted temporarily following the incident, while local and naval authorities assessed the situation and provided necessary support. The Mexican navy has committed to addressing personnel safety and operational transparency amid reviews of the accident.
A 270-foot Mexican naval vessel scraped the bottom of the Brooklyn Bridge, resulting in injuries and serious casualties, prompting the city to temporarily halt traffic.
The Cuauhtémoc, an academy training vessel, was in New York for a global tour, where it was scheduled to visit 22 ports in 15 countries.
