When I was a kid I got to go deep sea fishing with my grandfather on his boats and boats he piloted for others. Since the whole family on that side was involved in ocean-going vessels for many generations the fact that none of them fell off the earth never to be seen again pretty much was all I needed to know.
My great grandfather washed overboard in a storm and was found a couple months later...quite dead...but that had nothing to do with the shape of the earth and everything to do with rough seas.
