When a ship is leaving a port, a spectator observes as first disappears the lower part of the vessel, hided by the curvature of the Earth. In this work I illustrate images of the process.
Transparent water lets see hided part.
Normal sea shows only the top part.
 
Artigliere is at sight. Only superstructure is shown.
