What reading level is San Francisco Harbor, Its Commerce And Docks, With a Complete Plan for Development book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
American practice differs entirely from the European cus- tom in this matter. Here we have practically no cranes, the cargo being hoisted and lowered by means of the ship's tackle. Steam- ers are conveniently arranged for handling their cargo with their own steam, and in the case of sailing ships the Master Stevedore supplies portable steam hoists whenever it is necessary or advan- tageous.
Two floating cranes, one of from 100 to 150 tons, and the other of about 30 tons capacity, would be very ...useful in this harbor.
In fact, no great port can be considered fully equipped without a floating crane of sufficient size to be serviceable in emergency cases.
To equip this port with as many cranes as are found at the average of foreign ports would perhaps cost $25 per foot of berth room ; and if so equipped at least 75 per cent, of the cranes would be idle.
We have suggested (page 40) that the solid filled piers might be so equipped, and this suggestion might be extended to other open wharves where there is a public demand for such service.
