The Holy Quran 42:32 — Surah Ash-Shuraa

Arabic text

وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِ ٱلْجَوَارِ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ كَٱلْأَعْلَـٰمِ

(Also) Among His Aayaat are the ships (which He keeps afloat) at sea (although they are almost) like mountains (in size and weight).

that is, just as mountains rise up on the surface of the earth, so huge ships are seen rising up on the surface of the sea.
