Turbulent waters may have contributed to Mexican tall ship's crash into Brooklyn Bridge

2. I remember back in elementary school

learning all those terms...

My issue with this situation is that there was something that looked like a tug or some kind of small escort ship, that was traveling right alongside the tall ship but didn't seem to do anything.

When any tall ships are out and about and particularly near these older bridges, I would think there would be some kind of monitoring.

Because of the rain storm (which I expect NY got not long after we had them here as the system moved to the NE of here in Philly) they had to cancel the last day of the Stokesbury Regatta on the Schuylkill River here because of the currents and water turbidity due to an increased flow coming from upstream. So I can imagine similar up there.
