Here's my entry:


MV KENNEWICK, Keystone Harbor at Coupeville, June 2015.  Some smoke is seen, not a lot as CS may wish on these entries, though.  Something to show, but not enough to have the EPA come knocking on my door.

The smoke is thick on the west coast these days ...  Bring on the LNG fuelled conversions...  That will help clear the air.

The earlier vessels built in the early 1960's produced more visible smoke than you typically see these days.  Here, the Queen of Victoria is clear of Active Pass & heading for Tsawwassen in July 1974.

The NorAd is a three-pack a day boat.  It does not matter when you look, she is always smoking. 
Does she have steam engines?

I have witnessed the Skeena Queen belching black smoke a few times.  For a newer vessel that is not so good.

I have a Skeena Queen smoker too, but will pass on posting it.

So, the Skeena Queen needs to be put on a 'smoking abatement' program?

She seems to be the Marlboro of the fleet.

My contribution since I won't enter the Skeena Queen, but I do have a classic!

My one entry, I think this would qualify as belching smoke?
