Two crew members of a Mexican Navy sailing ship died on Saturday night when the ship drifted directly into the underside of the Brooklyn Bridge, smashing its masts and rigging.

There were 277 people on board the ship, the Cuauhtémoc, which was on a good will tour, and everyone is believed to be accounted for, a Fire Department official said.

Mayor Eric Adams said in a social media post after midnight that two people had died, and that the ship had lost power before the crash.

President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico said on social media that the deceased were crew members on the Cuauhtémoc.

Mexican officials identified one of the dead as América Yamileth Sánchez Hernández, from the state of Veracruz. In a social media post, the state’s governor, Rocío Nahle, confirmed her death and sent condolences to her family. “Veracruz is with you,” she wrote.

At least 22 others were injured in the crash, including 11 who were in critical condition and nine in stable condition, the Mexican Navy said in a statement.
