What reading level is History of American Steam Navigation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1889, another wooden hull was built at Noank, Conn., and, when completed, named "Connecticut." The vessel was fitted with an inclined oscillating compound engine, built by William Cramp & Sons S. & E. B. Co. The vessel has not seen as mucli service as other vessels of the line. Her engine has been thought to be everything but a success, and it is alto- gether improbable that another of the same type will be built by the company. The "Nashua" and the "Connecticut" would appear to be enough fo...r one company.
iu 181^2, the single-screw propellers ^^laine" and the *^ew Hampshire" were added to the Stonington line, and to them have fallen most of the Stonington line service since then.
They have proved themselves to be serviceable vessels that are well adapted for the business, and of better speed than the earlier side- wheelers on the route, and still afloat. The '^ew Hampshire" seems to have been the most able of the two* vessels. In June, 1896, her average time for 28 trips from dock to dock was 6 hours and 55 minutes.
