The Mediterranean Shipping Company container vessel MSC MONICA sailing from the Port of Saint John, bound for Freeport, Bahamas during a very blustery afternoon.

The vessel made the 180 degree turn with help from the tugs Atlantic Hemlock and Atlantic Spruce.  The process took about a haft hour but I manage to condensed it to six minutes in this video.
