The waterline is the origin of the ship, so, you should be able to measure the height of the mast in S3D that way.
Be warned though, that the ship will 'sink' into the water the further the camera is from the ship, so that will spoil accuracy as the larger the range error will be as the waterline will appear higher and higher.
