The ARM Cuauhtémoc – a gorgeous Mexican Navy vessel – is currently docked at the Valletta Cruise Port, and she looks stunning!

Whilst spotting the ship in broad daylight, with its flags flying high, is undoubtedly quite the sight, the ARM Cuauhtémoc is just as beautiful at night, when it’s all lit up.

The team behind the Maltese Islands Weather page even spotted the ship’s crew manning the mast…

…and with the Valletta Grand Harbour standing strong right behind the ship, this looks like a scene right out of Pirates of the Caribbean.

This unique vessel is one of the Mexican Navy’s sail training ships. And is the last of the four ships built at the Naval shipyards of Bilbao, Spain, in 1982. 

The ARM Cuauhtémoc’s only in Malta for a short visit, so head down to the Valletta Cruise Port soon if you want to catch it up close!
