Mexican Navy Tragedy

A tall ship of the Mexican navy struck the Brooklyn Bridge last night killing at least two sailors. My initial reaction was "how tragic". My second take was who even knew Mexico had a navy? My third reaction was that it is kind of hard not to notice you are about to have a portion of your vessel plow into an enormous (and incidentally legendary) bridge. I hope the injured of which there are several all recover, and for goodness sake Mexico, buy a craft that is propelled by a motor. The age of sailing ships in combat effectively closed with the Merrimack and the Monitor during the American Civil War in 1862.
