Yes, when a ship sails away, the mast typically disappears from view first. This phenomenon occurs due to the curvature of the Earth; as the ship moves further away, the lower parts of the vessel become obscured by the horizon before the taller mast. Consequently, from an observer's perspective, it appears as if the mast is the first part to vanish.
