Mexican Tall Ship Celebrates Dia de los Muertos
Nov. 2nd at Pier 45.

The tall ship Cuauhtemoc, ambassador of goodwill and training ship for Mexico's Naval cadets and future officers, will sail under the Golden Gate Bridge and dock at Pier 45 on October 31st. Viewing of the tall ship is open and free to the public through November 3rd. The visit of Cuauhtemoc ends this year's Sail San Francisco! 2002's impressive Tall ShipsFestival, which included public tours of a dozen tall ships from around the world over the Labor Day weekend. Not all available tall ships were able to coordinate their schedules to coincide in San Francisco in 2002. Sail San Francisco has already begun inviting the full armada of in-service tall ships from around the world to join the next Tall Ships Festival as momentum and support grow. School children from all over the greater Bay Area toured the vessels opening young eyes to a new world of life at sea then and now.

Nov. 1-3rd are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Entertainment will be provided on Nov.2nd Celebration

Cuauhtemoc sails with a crew of 218. It is under the command of Capt. Afredo Ortega
Jaramillo. A visually dramatic Brig with 23 sails, this will be the Cuauhtemoc's last port of call prior to returning to Mexico.
