I have lived near the beach for 18 years and never ever remotely saw a shipmast sinking below an imaginary curve....
It's clear that you base your conclusions on exceptions instead of common things. If you saw the sea often enough, you would know that ships dissapear bottom first. You can make pictures of that almost every day.
Really ?
That’s why i repeatedly brought up the ancient Greeks with no camera available.
When gazing towards the horizon they saw how shipmasts sank over the horizon....appearently.
And this was also taught in elementary school.
Surprise, surprise..... no one i know, including myself had such an experience by simply using their eyes.
But you want to take it to the level of a camera ?
Sure!
Nikon P900 debunks flat earth (again)... by MCtheEmcee1
Look from 0:15 on, with two large ships and good visibility.
The nearer ship is a little closer than the horizon but the container ship has all of the hull and most of the containers hidden behind the ocean.
Look at these two screenshots:
The camera height is not given but one comment (by a flat-earther) is that it's about 33 ft (or 10 m).
This would make the (refracted) horizon about 12 km away with the nearer ship a little closer.
It totally depends on the weather conditions how refraction, looming come into play and i have seen pictures online with structures well beyond the curvature that only can be explained by a phenomena like ‘superiour mirage’ ( magical flip flopping mirage that puts the distant city where one would expect it to be on a flat earth) .
I phenomena that know one really knew before Jonathan Nowicki took pictures accross lake Michigan from Chicago. Even the professional weather man was caught be surprise when he took notice of this exotic phenomena at play,.... more like a shock really
Of course "the professional weather man was caught be surprise" because that much of Chicago cannot usually be seen across Lake Michigan.
Now please excuse the copy-n-paste but I'm not going to try to paint
Joshua Nowicki's photo on-line

Which looks very like
Looking toward Chicago - Joshua Nowicki without any acknowledgement. And
Joshua Nowicki's photo was claimed to be a "mirage", though it's not really a mirage,
just a bit more refraction than usual, called looming.
This photo shows most of Chicago hidden from 40 miles away.
Here are ten shots of Chicago from viewpoints ranging from 40 miles to 2 miles away:
New Buffalo, MI (40 miles from skyline)
. . . . . . .
Question is, what's hiding the lower part of the city?
Something is hiding the lower part of Chicago in both cases and none should be hidden if the earth were flat - so what is it?
Much of Chicago is visible from 53 miles away and much more is hidden from 40 miles away but that is not the whole story.
The horizon in
Joshua Nowicki's photo does show a distinct band that often indicates some exceptional situation.
The other photo has a perfectly clear horizon so I'd put much more weight in that as being accurate.
Now go to the shore the coming year without a camera and without blinking your eyes tell me you could indeed see a shipmast sink below an imaginary curvature.
THEN we’ll discuss what happens when camera’s come into play.
If it were only ships and cities hidden maybe I wouldn't bother but there is so much more involving the:
- apparent movement of the sun, moon planets and stars,
- the unchanging size of the Sun and Moon as they rise, move across the sky and set and
- the unchanging size and shape of constellations as the unchanging size of the Sun and Moon as the rise, move across the sky and set.
And much much more!
This is very relevant to the OP because before one discusses the "People Who Made The Globe Lie" one has to prove that
the Globe is a lie.
And neither you nor
N30 have done that nor can you do that.
