What reading level is Naval Heroes of Holland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The plan was to begin with a landing near fort San Antonio. For this purpose all the land forces were transferred to four of the largest ships and one yacht. These, as they entered the bay, were to anchor close by the fort, while the rest of the fleet sailed farther up the bay, as if with the inten- tion of attacking the city from two sides at once. Of course this was not done without an effort on the part of the Spaniards to prevent the movement of the fleet ; but the guns of fort San Antonio ...were either placed so high or aimed so badly that they never hurt nor even hit any one of the ships as they sailed on to their assigned positions. The seven large shallops which have been mentioned before, and which were intended to carry the troops from the ships to the shore, were first taken in tow by the fleet and carried a good distance up the bay. But this was also only a ruse and intended to give the Spaniards the impres- sion that the ships anchored yonder near fort San Antonio would be of little consequence and that the main shock was to be expected from directly in front of the city itself.
