The Secretariat of the Mexican Navy has brought its itinerant exposition of naval combat equipment to Mazatlán in commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of the Gesta Heroica del Puerto de Veracruz in April, 1914 when Mexicans left to defend their country against an invasion by the United States.
The impressive display attracted over 10,000 curious Mazatlecans last weekend, breaking a record for attendance. The free exposition is located at the docks by La Puntilla and is open from 10am to 8:30pm until June 30th when it will leave port.
Also in port this week is the Mexican rapid attack frigate “Nicolás Bravo” which arrived on Friday from its home base in Manzanillo on a courtesy visit and is presently tied up at the API docks.
The “Bravo” is a part of the Mexican national defense system carrying anti-aircraft and anti-submarine armament. It is named in honour of former Mexican President Nicolás Bravo.
