Many try to use the "ships disappear hull first" example to prove we are on a globe. But I am not so sure it's the best proof. It COULD be that we are seeing the effect of a mirage. Then again, it COULD be that "it's a small world after all..."

This is a video from the early days of Rob's initial investigations into the shape of our world.
Research atmospheric mirroring, how refraction always bends light DOWN at long distances, not up, and also look into angular size and angular resolution to understand WHY objects seem to "disappear" into the apparent horizon.
