The WIKI explanation is utter nonsense.
Here's a video clearly illustrating that it is not any perspective related issue which hides the lower part of a vessel:
If what is in the WIKI were accurate, as a magnifying device was used to bring the vessel into view, the interface between the ship's deck and it's cargo would become visible as the entire object shrinks and grows. This is due to the fact that the height of the ship itself is nearly as large as the height of the stack of cargo above the deck. For this video, this can be seen as the ship's tower passes. The cargo is much lower than the tower which puts the height of the cargo reasonably close to the height of the ship. As the video clearly shows, the entire ship has disappeared below the horizon leaving only the cargo visible. If Rowbotham's explanation were correct this is not what we would witness.
