What reading level is American Naval Battles Being a Complete History of the Battles Fought By the Na book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was particularly destructive to the shipping employed in the sperma- ceti whale fishery. A great number with valuable 128 NAVAL BATTLES.
cargoes were captured ; two were given up to the prisoners ; three sent to Valparaiso and laid up ; three sent to America ; one of them he retained as a storeship, and another he equipped with twenty guns, called the Essex junior, and gave the command of her to lieutenant Downes. Most of these ships mount- ed several guns, and had numerous crews ; and as se...veral of them were captured by boats or by prizes, the officers and men of the Essex had frequent op- portunities of showing their skill and courage, and of acquiring experience and confidence in naval con- aict.
Having now a little squadron under his command, captain Porter became a complete terror in those seas. As his numerous prizes supplied him abund- antly with provisions, clothing, medicine, and naval stores of every description, he was enabled for a long time to keep the sea, without sickness or inconve- nrence to his crew ; living entirely on the enemy, and being enabled to make considerable advances of pay to his officers and crew without drawing on government.
