just off the top of my head it would probably be a really, really long way away, although the size of the ships, atmospheric conditions and the like could also have an effect, probably the easiest way to do it would be to (and this is without doing much math because my brain hurts from too much of that anyway) take the horizon from 3,000 feet up, and if you have to just use that number, and you could add the distance from 1,000 feet on top of it, which wouldn't be as far, but that should be where both horizons are at the same spot, and would be as far away as they could possibly see each other (not counting the fact that they would be specks on the horizon for anything except a strong telescope or someone with superhuman vision)
Hope this helps!

well, the 3000 feet is almost 1 Km. so, about 67 miles.
in micro wave communications, a tower 1000 feet high had a horizon of 30 miles.

so that would be about 100 miles at the horizon (67+30 is 97 miles)

I'm Canadian from Quebec, proud to be from Quebec, and I can tell you:
- People live within 100 miles of the lines because we don`t want to have a 8 month winter like up in the north.
- The province of Quebec hasn't turned French. If you know your history, the Nouvelle-France was extending from Quebec city to Louisinana. So, it is the American continent that has turned English... that's because the King of France didn't saw the potential of America and preferred to get rid of it and keep only a few island in the Caribbean after losing a war against England.
- Excessive politeness? From where did they took that?
- We are impervious to cold and snow storm. Washington was paralyzed with 61 centimeter of snow in 2009. With 61 centimeter of snow, we grab our ski and take a day off to go skiing, the kids do snowball fight and the day after, some just stay inside because they hate snow and after 24h, all is back to normal, except we have harder time to park in the streets for another 2 days.
- Marijuana... well, I think the province of Quebec is one of the main producer, so we need to make our black market economy grow. And for gay marriage, wait a year and our Prime Minister Harper will have ended that. (Please, no personal opinion on that matter).
- Infiltrated entertainment industry? Kind of. I can't recognize myself English Canadian artist from American artist. But from the province of Quebec, we have developed SoftImage (many FX by computer have been developed by this industry), Cirque du Soleil, Moment Factory (FX during this year Superbowl half-time), Celine Dion and a lot more...
- Culture under the radar... we fight to keep alive our French Canadian culture. It is an every day fight to not get drown in the English culture.
- Our governement (mainly the Conservative Party) is greatly influenced by the American Republican culture.
- We had a disco phase. Montreal had been an important city for the disco movement. If you can see it, take a look at the canadian movie Funkytown.
- We have a lot of forest, donut and... what is a Scoth-plaid Hats? What`s that?
- We have design on American. We want to conquer it back, because it was our first. (see point 2)
