Took this with my cheapo little box camera, we were heading inbound when she was outbound.
From some angels the funnels look very large and overpowering, not looking as if they belong!!
they are huge

In the old days the larger the funnels the greater the apparent prestige for publicity, practicality had nothing to do with it, on some vessels a third or fourth funnel wasn't even connected to the engineroom, If I remember rightly the 2nd funnel on the 'Reina del Pacifico' even had cabins in it
On one war time built liberty ship I was on the funnel served two,purposes and one of them,it was the flag locker inside. Any one of the lady passengers of middling years who wanted showing round the ship, it was the first and sometimes the only place I showed them, it was all carpeted out inside as well at funnel deck level. The climb up to the funnel deck was enough climbing of vertical ladders for most of them. JS
