To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hamblin and Avery's first Lightship at the Nore — The second Lightship at the Dudgeon — Bad system of mooring — Bridle- chains, mushroom anchors, and stone and iron "sinkers" — First Lightship on the Goodwins, North Sand Head — Second at the Gull Stream — Third at South Sand Head — Fourth at Eastern edge of the Sands — Cost and general arrangement of Lightships — Crews — Pay — Dangers to which Lightships are exposed — Constant watchfulness necessary — Spare Lightship always kept ready fitted — ...Lady Brassey's account of the harbour of Monte Video — Gross neglect by the lighthouse keeper.
It was about the beginning of the last century that an idea was originated which ultimately developed itself into an invention of the greatest importance to navi- gators, and introduced a totally different system of lighting our coasts. Eobert Hamblin, who followed the occupation of a barber at Lynn, in Norfolk, con- ceived the plan of substituting a floating lightship for a fixed lighthouse in situations where it would be utterly impossible to place any built-up structure ; and to this man's genius we owe this most eminently useful system which has now been adopted all over the civilised world.
