Veracruz Naval Museum honors 70 years of Mexican Navy history

The former Navy Training and Capacity Center (CEFCAM) in Veracruz, Mexico, has transitioned into the Veracruz Naval Museum, serving as a space of memory for generations of sailors. As the institution celebrates 70 years of history, it highlights the personal legacies of the instructors and students who shaped the Mexican Navy.

One notable figure is Lieutenant Graciela Peralta Ramírez, the first woman to serve as a professor at the center. Despite initial skepticism regarding her age and gender, she taught subjects such as Spanish and English for 24 years. Her career reflects the evolving role of women within the institution's history.
