This is the only possible way for a ship to appear or disappear at the horizon. Things have to disappear bottom up, not because of a rounded surface, but because of laws of perspective and atmospheric magnification. The atmosphere is filled with water

and it is denser the closer you are to the water, casing the light to bend away and making it impossible to view an object through it. Also, an object at extreme distance no matter how large will disappear bottom up, because there is a more acute viewing

Which causes the visual data to compress the closer it is to the “horizon“. Here is a video using a crappy little model that can demonstrate atmospheric lensing...

And here is a video proving that the math of our supposed sphere does not come anywhere close to adding up to what we see. If the math is wrong, the model is wrong.
