That's pretty cool, we'd often cross paths with tug boats tasked with moving container ships while sailing out on SF bay and their dual exhaust pipes are ridiculously huge relative to the size of the vessels. It's like a floating giant diesel engine with a helm+rudder attached.
I look forward to the era of day sails without the nauseating stink of diesel/bunker oil exhaust streams, probably not in this lifetime though.
