Can you explain the concept of the floating ship illusion and how it affects our perception of objects on the horizon?
The floating ship illusion is a phenomenon where a distant ship appears to be floating above the horizon due to the curvature of the Earth. This occurs because our brain interprets the visual information in a way that makes the ship seem disconnected from the water. It affects our perception by creating a visual distortion that can make objects on the horizon appear different than they actually are.

If someone died at sea why were they thrown off the ship at sea?
AnswerI participated in a couple of burials at sea during my eight years in the USN. One was for a retired Navyman who did not even die at sea but requested this honor. The tradition goes back to the days when a ship might not reach land for weeks or even months at a time. The only possible way to preserve the body for burial ashore would have been to pickle it in salt. The bodies aren't just "thrown off the ship." There is a formal memorial ceremony and the body is wrapped in a weighted canvas shroud, draped with the flag if it is a military funeral, and reverently tipped over the side.
