This is a slightly different article on what I mentioned to you this morning regarding mirage and the RMS Titanic.

Absolutely!

I used to observe this effect every late October in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay.

Bringing the boat around to it’s winter quarters, a trip on the Bay would fully distort the horizon. Distant bridges, not normally viewable, showed up on the horizon. Towers on land, were fully visible for the first time of the season.

Somehow there was a refraction of light, probably caused by the interaction of the colder air and warmer salt water.
