Beautiful for a first one up. It took me a few minutes looking at it, and then it struck me. For the perspective and distance you're trying to portray, I would work with the texture size of the water. The large texture size makes the ship look closer, but it's size says it's fairly distant. Try different sizes and twists on the texture(mainly just the bump height), but remember to save the the original one into a safe folder. Good Luck, Hope this helps.
