What reading level is Frigate And Clipper book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was like sunshine breaking through a fog. Such rejoicing had been unknown, even in the decisive moments of the War of the Revolution. It served to show how deep-seated had been the American conviction that Britain's mastery of the sea was like a spell which could not be broken. CHAPTER VI MATCHLESS FRIGATES AND THEIK DUELS It was soon made clear that the impressive victory over the Guerriere was neither a lucky accident nor the result of prowess peculiar to the Constitution and her crew. Shi...p for ship, the American navy was better than the British. This is a truth which was demonstrated with sensational emphasis by one engagement after another. During the first eight months of the war there were five such duels, and in every instance the enemy was compelled to strike his colors. In tavern and banquet hall revelers were still drinking the health of Captain Isaac Hull when the thrilling word came that the Wasp, an eighteen-gun ship or sloop, as the type was called in naval parlance, had beaten the Frolic in a rare fight.
