The CMA CGM Brazil, which can carry up to 15,128 20-foot equivalent containers, became the largest ship to dock at the Port of Charleston on Sunday. The ship, which was finished this year, is roughly 167 feet wide. Onlookers lined the bridge, Memorial Waterfront Park and places in between in Mount Pleasant to get a view of the ship Sunday morning as tugboats and other vessels swirled around the Brazil.
