Does anyone know what that thing is, which resembles a large smokestack turned on it's side, which is jutting out of the side directly across from the island?
Is that water coming out of it in the picture?

Any ideas?

The illustrator apparently didn't realize that and must have figured it was a disposal chute for the crew's whiz water (I also like the depiction of Kates as single-engine stretch passenger airliners).

The design idea was to "funnel" the diesel smoke away from the area of flight deck operations.
