What reading level is The Steam Navy of the United States a History of the Growth of the Steam Vessel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The second-class battle-ship Tfxas was selected as one of the vessels to be built at a navy yard and her construction was under- taken at the Norfolk yard; a controversy as to her stability, floating capacity, and general design so postponed her beginning that the keel was not laid until 1889, while difficulties in obtaining armor and other heavy material delayed her completion until the summer of 1895. The plans for the Texas were bought in England for $16, 000, and were the result of a compet...ition instituted by the United States Navy Department. The general design was by the late William John, a distinguished English naval architect at that time in the employ of the Naval Construction and Armaments Com- pany, Barrow-in-Furness. Owing to a dispute as to whether the prize of $15, 000 belonged to the designer or to his employers, Mr. John left the service of the Barrow Company, and the detailed plans for the Texas were worked out by his successor, Mr. A. D. Bryce- Douglas, especially distinguished as a marine engineer, though an architect of note also.
