Once a ship passed over the horizon, the last thing that we could see were the tops of the masts of those ships. And we could not bring all of those ships back into view with our telescopes after they had passed over the horizon and out of sight completely.
We could only magnify with our telescopes.

You must have not had much experience observing, then.



You must have never been in the navy.

Aren't there rules against low content posts on here?

They don't apply to flat earthers and moderators.
They only apply to round earthers.

And posting round earth facts and figures is "low content."

Aside from being an oxymoron, you haven't even attempted to do what you're claiming. Your round earth friends may be gullible enough to blankety accept your nonsense, but it won't fly here.

Does any video exist of a ship, of which the view is partially blocked by the horizon, rising back up to full view with increasing magnification?

If so, does anyone here have a link to it?

Here is a video that shows a zoom onto a ship partially over the horizon, but in this video, the hull of the ship never reappears and all that is visible even after zooming is the superstructures on the ship like smoke stacks:

And here is another one where the ship continues to disappear even after it has been zoomed (which happens in the first few seconds of the video)
