Yesterday we were all agog over the MSC Fabiola, the largest container ship ever to dock in a North American port, paying a call to the Port of Oakland.

From the Port of Oakland, watch this time-lapse video of "tug boats powerfully guid(ing) this massive vessel in the turning basin, before it departs for Asia."

The ship weighs 46,093 metric tons, which is about 322,000,000 pounds.
