I presumed such as was the clarity of the image that we were going to see the boat in the first video 'disappear' over the horizon. What happened?
What happened is as the first ship was mostly sunken he started to follow another ship which was coming towards him.
This is that second ship when he first starts to follow it and right near the end of the video:



If that isn't "evidence to go on" then I don't know what is. Where's the rest of it in that first image? Obviously you are free to do your own tests and satisfy yourself that the ships do completely disappear when they go far enough. I'd suggest the difference between those two frames needs some explanation on a FE.

Mostly sunken? Where did that come from? Are you watching a different video - obviously not one that you took or could be bothered to watch. Please go back and show me this 'mostly sunken' ship - I am dying to see it.

I kinda like the wind turbines as they are stationary as opposed to most ships...

When I travel to the other end of Lake Ontario and view my home city of Toronto from the city of St. Catharines, why does the CN Tower appear 2/3 as tall as it should?

If the Earth was flat the CN Tower should appear as-is. In the image below, you can see a Mirage Effect (eg. where the white roofed Rogers Center is smeared) but due to its gigantic height you can see how low the CN Tower dips below the horizon.


And you're another who didn't get my post.

You seem to think I'm offering a proof that the earth is flat.

I understand your frustration. I thought your post was clearly stated. These responders misinterpreted it.

Your superimposed image shows buildings that are in your original image therefore they have not been 'hidden' by any such curve. And as you point out the white building has taken on a mirage effect. Any reason the white building features twice (above and/or below itself) in the superimposed pic?
