I noticed that you did not comment on anything about the pictures of Christ the King with a globe that I brought up. Why is that?

This thread addressed your question already.

Okay, thank-you. I hopped over there, read it, and well, still think the earth is round. It's not a point that really matters, either. ;)

I’ve commented multiple times on such pictures.  First of all, they’re art.  There are pictures of Jesus in early Christian art showing Him clean-shaven.  Art is not Magisterium.  Secondly, even though we live in a flat plane, the world is in fact shaped like a globe due to the firmament dome.  It’s more like a snow globe.  DL showed a picture of an empty / hollow globe on one such artistic rendering.  But it’s just art and not evidence either way.

Is there an earth curve calculator we can use?
Yes, here's an easy one: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/earth-curvature
(no refraction or other factors are considered)

And here an advanced one: http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.asp?page=Advanced+Earth+Curvature+Calculator

Most known factors are considered here, especially refraction.

With this we can calculate at which distance the ship whould completely disappear below the horizon.
