Like her sister ships, Colombia's ARC Gloria , Ecuador's BAE Guayas and Venezuela's Simón Bolívar , Cuauhtémoc is a sailing ambassador for her home country and a frequent visitor to world ports, having sailed over 400,000 nautical miles (700,000 km) in her 43 years of service, with appearances at the Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Races , the American Sail Training Association Tall Ships Challenges , Sail Osaka, and others.
In 2007, while transiting the El Abra route down the Bilbao estuary in Spain, the mainmast collided with the suspension bridge in the municipality of Portugalete . There was only minor damage to the top of the mainmast. There were no injuries and the ship was not stopped. The maneuver was a calculated risk by the local authorities since all boats had to clear the 45-metre (148 ft) bridge. The height of Cuauhtémoc was 45.5 metres (149 ft 3 in) and normally the maneuvers are done at high tide , so the local pilots coordinated everything to avoid mishaps. A similar collision also happened to the Portuguese training ship NRP Sagres in 2000.
Cuauhtémoc docked at Pier 36 in Manhattan after colliding with the Brooklyn Bridge with damage to her masts visible, 18 May 2025.
