What reading level is Stockwin's Maritime Miscellany book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My mother tells of a very small boy once bringing home a dead sea-bird because it stank so richly of the sea. While none of my immediate family had any salty connections there was a distant relative, Tom Clay, who had sailed around the Horn in the lovely clipper Cutty Sark, and his stirring tales of iron men in wooden ships could only strengthen my determination to become a sailor. At school I was a dismal scholar, all the time daydreaming of sailing over the horizon to some foreign shore. My fa...ther hoped to knock this nonsense out of me by sending me to a tough sea-training school at the age of 14, but it didn’t work and I joined the navy as soon as I could. I had adventures around the world and served both on the lower deck and later as an officer. After swallowing the anchor it’s such a joy to have come full circle and earn my living now by writing about the sea, which I’ve done for the past ten years.
When I was approached by Ebury Press I jumped at the challenge of compiling a selection of maritime wonders from the days of sail.
