" I'm not 100% sure of the scale of the nearest ship, it looks a tad bit too large (out of scale), being an ex sailor myself...."
....But still not that far out, for a backdrop.......and, it looks like 6' to 10' of "extra freeboard" because they are running light, having discharged their cargo. The height of the bow of my 127' coastal freighter is about 12' above the waterline. it would go to about 18' above water, empty. Those ships look to be larger ( 180' - 250' ) than my little coaster.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
