As a result of the collision, one of the masts broke and fell onto the deck, damaging two others. More than 270 people were on board, the media reported. Three people are in critical condition, and ten have sustained serious injuries.

Representatives of the Mexican Navy confirmed the incident but did not provide detailed information regarding the victims. Local police reported that all victims are receiving the necessary assistance.

Preparation for the regatta as part of the training voyage

The barque 'Cuauhtémoc', built in 1982, was in New York as part of a training voyage in preparation for a regatta scheduled for next year to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence.

Recall that in the North Sea off the coast of England, the British Coast Guard is conducting a rescue operation due to a collision between an oil tanker and a cargo ship.

Additionally, at least six tourists died as a result of an accident involving a tourist submersible in the Red Sea near the city of Hurghada in Egypt. Four of them are citizens of Russia.
