What reading level is An Unsinkable Titanic Every Ship Its Own Lifeboat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To Scott Russell, as naval architect, were due the lines and dimensions of the ship and the elabo- rate system of transverse and longitudinal bulkheads.
Those were the days when the engineer was supreme. He worked with a free hand; and these two men set out to build a ship which should be not only the largest and strongest, but also the safest and most unsinkable vessel afloat. How they succeeded is shown by the fact, that on one of her voyages to New York, the Great Eastern ran over some subme...rged rocks off Montauk Point, Long Island, and tore two great rents in her outer skin, whose aggre- gate area was equivalent to a rupture 10 feet wide and 80 feet long. In spite of this dam- age, which was probably greater in total area [70] AN UNSINKABLE TITANIC than that suffered by the Titanic, the ship came safely to New York under her own steam.
There can be no doubt that in undertaking to build a ship of the then unprecedented length of 692 feet, the designers were as much con- cerned with the question of her strength as with that of her ability to keep afloat in case of under-water damage.
