But consider that the ship's bows just happen to be pointed directly at the 'distant' photographer, and that it is also underway at the time. Quite a coincidence. But other analysis of the photo, particularly the heights of the foremast and its yards compared with their counterparts on the main mast indicate that the photographer was not miles away, but on the water just a bit forward of the ship. Frank thinks that the entire ship was photoshopped. The evidence of the cloned upper yards is convincing, but I am not so sure about the hull and lower masts. Don Seltzer
