Sea Raven ex-Dixie Commander and Star Providence. 1980. Why does it have such long stacks?
Thomas D. Witte ex-Kendall P. Brake, Reliance, Tammy, Matty J, June C 1961. Is scrap metal the boro’s greatest real export?

In regards to the stacks on the Sea Raven, they are up that high so the exhaust isnt blowing into the Upper house on the boat. Since they (Capt, Mate) spend probably about 90% of the time up their. A breeze from the stern can make for a long smelly watch. Also a health hazard.
