What reading level is Modern Seamanship book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Go ahead with left rudder, 1 which will throw the stern in, leaving the bow line slack until the stern clears the danger ; then hold on the bow line, still going ahead with starboard helm. This brings her into her berth. Under many circumstances, as for example when proposing to lie for some time at an exposed dock, an anchor should be let go outside and some distance ahead of the berth to be oc- cupied, and the ship dropped or hauled in from this by the aid ot bow and stern lines to the dock. ...With a head tide, a judicious use of the lines and the helm will make it possible to drop in with little or no hauling, but she must be straightened up toward the end to avoid coming in too heavily. If an anchor is needed from the quarter, this must be laid out later by a boat. With a fresh breeze or a current setting on to the dock, it may be possible to drop in by letting go an anchor abreast of the berth with a spring from the quarter made fast to the ring (Fig. T, Plate 142) ;bow and stern lines being used as before.
