A dangling modifier ca be a clause, phrase, or even a word that is not located near the noun that it is meant to modify. In other words, it is ,isplaced. As a result, the modifier dangles because it lacks a direct connection to what it is describing. Therefore, writers need to revise these modifiers in order to state clearly the message they want to convey without resulting in misleading message, ideas or meanings.
For an observer standing on the ground with h = 2 meters (6 ft 7 in), the horizon is at a distance of 5 kilometers (3.1 mi).
The Earth curves about 8 inches per mile. As a result, on a flat surface with your eyes 5 feet or so off the ground, the farthest edge that you can see is about 3 miles away
Humans can see from 380–740 nanometers (nm)
So, the answer is no, if you can only barely see 3 miles away, then you wouldn't be able to read the name of a boat 3.1 miles away.
