To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My previous remarks have had reference to inland navigation only, where a form corresponding with the perpendicular and horizontal movements natural to water is all that is needed. When, however, we uld construct a form for ocean naviga- n, we must, as a first consideration, have ard to the powerful movement given to, ter by the ocean wave. It has never had a proper consideration, and consequently vessels have imperfect forms that are more or less unseaworthy. The dangers of the sea is looked u...pon as something beyond 's power to overcome, when the fact is sea would be as harmless as the river, the form was what it should be. The water, under the influence of the, ve, gyrates in circles, as I have said, and when influenced by a storm, the whirling motion imparted to it clothes it with a mighty power. This movement is perfectly harmless unless interfered with. In a pro- perly formed vessel no harm would come from it, but let a form be such, that it inter- feres with it when it is clothed with power, and it will leap and strike it with a terrific force, destroying everything in its way.
