>for
> delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico,
>which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in
>New York.
>
>This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever
>delivered to Mexico.
>But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York.
>The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
>
>The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise,
>and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss.
>Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning,
>which they still observe to this day.
