What reading level is The Marvels of the Ship the Story of the Development of the Ship From the Earli book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the fine English character which had been so brave and valorous in Elizabethan times had somewhat decayed. Discipline in the navy was slack, and there was considerable bribery and corruption rampant both ashore and in the dockyards and ad- ministration, and afloat among the officers and crews themselves. Meanwhile the French were becoming ex- ceedingly proficient in shipbuilding, and their Soldi Royal and Royal Louis, of 1940 and 1800 tons respec- tively, were magnificent ships of the perio...d; but the 96 AND AFTER Royal Charles^ a fine four-masted ship built in 1672, showed that British shipbuilding was still far from dead. And here let us stop for a moment to fix in our minds what a late seventeenth-century full-rigged ship resembled in her prime. The Royal Charles^ for instance, a three-masted vessel, must have made a fine sight with her gilded ports, topsails and topgallants, her timber-coloured hull relieved by a band of blue, with the Union-jack flying forward and her ensign at the stern.
