Mexican Navy Ship Returns to Victoria | Vancouver News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 12, 2026 Duration: 1:37

The Mexican Navy’s historic training ship, ARM Cuauhtémoc, has arrived in Victoria, Canada, for a free public tour this weekend—marking a powerful symbol of Mexico-Canada maritime friendship. Once hailed in Halifax in 2019, this 1982-built vessel, now back in service after a tragic New York collision, carries 281 crew members and is ready to deepen ties through joint exercises and Mexican Independence Day celebrations. With mariachi music and cheers greeting its return, the Cuauhtémoc reminds us that the sea unites nations, not divides them.
