Tone'o Down-Under
Next stop - Melbourne then onto Sydney
SPECTATORS on Freo’s North and South Moles witnessed a Mexican Navy tall ship spectacularly berth in port on Wednesday, decked with a giant Mexican flag.
The ARM Cuauhtemoc arrived in Freo on Wednesday morning and remained in port until Saturday afternoon.
The crew of the ARM Cuauhtemoc climbed the rigging for a spectacular entry and exit of Fremantle Harbour, Western Australia.
According to Fremantle Ports, the “instructional” ship facilitates the Mexican Navy’s 4th year naval cadets and is currently holding 261 sailors, many of whom clambered onto her 48.2m-tall masts in a remarkable display of welcome.
Freo is the Cuauhtemoc’s first Australian stop in her eight-month global training and goodwill cruise, following stops at San Diego, Honolulu, Tokyo, Incheon, Shanghai, Manila, and Singapore.
The Cuauhtemoc departed Fremantle at 2pm on Saturday, when she sailed on to Sydney, Auckland, and Tahiti.
