Cuauhtémoc

The three masted barque Cuauhtémoc was the last of a series of four windjammers built by the naval shipyards of Bilbao, Spain (after the Gloria for Columbia, the Guayas for Equator, and the Simon Bolivar for Venezuela).

The Mexican Navy training ship Cuauhtémoc bears the name of the last Aztec emperor who was imprisoned and executed in 1525 by order of Herman Cortes the conquistador.

Cuauhtémoc has been the proud winner of the Tall Ships' Races twice and has won special prizes for her imposing looks on numerous occasions. During the Falmouth Tall Ships Festival '98 she was the ship that contributed the most to the local community.
