How HMS Amethyst could turn in the Yangtze

How could HMS Amethyst turn around on the Yangtze?

At some points the Yangtze is wide enough for a ship of Amethyst's size to turn.

Parts of the Yangtze are wide enough for the manoeuvre. HMS Amethyst was therefore not confined everywhere to a channel only marginally broader than her hull. The point helps readers visualise the physical scale of the river during the incident. The exchange does not reconstruct the turn itself, so the geographical clarification should not be read as a detailed ship-handling account.
