It's probable that the two ships you observed in the background are traveling at different speeds, one of which is slower than wind speed.

Hold on, let's think about that one again.
The above would apply to smoke appearing to blow forward faster than a ship's movement, true.
But it definately would not apply to two stacks of smoke in the sky in the same wind.
I don't believe it's an explanation for this...
The two smoke stacks are clrealy being blown in opposite directions. They are fairly close together, and I don't believe the engine allows for multiple wind directions at once.
Is the ship on the left damaged? I see two sources of smoke from it. Is it possible we have "fire smoke" and "engine smoke" set conversely to each other?
