The Bug
Maces and tridents show a small part of their sprite in the player's hand while rowing a boat. Ordinarily, rowing a boat should hide the items the player is holding completely, however, a few pixels of the Mace and Trident still show nonetheless.
This also affects certain custom items as @unknown has stated.
How to Reproduce
Hold a Mace/Trident in your main hand while rowing a boat (holding the forward key).
Note how the weapon will still show in your hand very slightly.
Placing the weapon in your offhand will also show a bit of itself.

Likely WAI, this is just how the boat item lowering works, it effects other items too like the trident and custom items not just maces.
@unknown Can confirm that it does also occur with the trident, therefore the issue has existed for a while. It seems to be dependent on how big the item is, as Minecraft doesn't appear to make the item disappear, instead just hiding it from view (to the best of its ability).
Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Working as Intended.
Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.
Things such as graphics, sounds, world creation, biomes, redstone, villagers, and animals may not work the same in current versions.
