I'm neither pro nor con on this debate, but if the boat was nearby & appeared to reach the 3rd floor of a building in the distance, that doesn't mean it was 3 stories tall. It's an illusion.
I just held out my thumb at arms length and looked at a one story house in the distance. My thumb went from the ground to just a little above the roof. That doesn't mean my thumb is as long as a house is tall, just that the perspective is different. Because my thumb was close, it appeared larger than the house in the background.
