SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- A Mexican tall ship arrived in San Diego Bay Thursday morning.
The tall ship Cuauhtémoc landed at the B Street Pier, next to the Port of San Diego cruise ship terminal, with nearly 200 sailors on board.
The Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego made an announcement on social media inviting the public to visit the Cuauhtémoc for free until 5 p.m. Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday through Monday.
