What reading level is Cape Cod And the Old Colony book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then growth began, coming to its height in the forties, with about six hundred vessels in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.
After 1830 regular fleets went out from Fal- mouth and Plymouth, Provincetown coming in strongly somewhat later. Since 1895 Bos- ton, New Bedford and Provincetown have been the only ports at which even a remnant of whaling survived. Some readers would like to know the years of last sailings for whales from the various Cape towns. Here they are — Barnstable, 1846; Tr...uro, 1852; Falmouth, 198 Cape Cod 1859; Sandwich, 1862; Wellfleet, 1867. In a short quarter of a century the Cape lost all its whaling except from Provincetown.
In 1906, New Bedford had twenty-four ships, San Francisco fourteen, and Province- town three. Six whalers are even at the pres- ent time assessed in Provincetown, but they fit out and land at New Bedford. The Civil War, like the wars of 1776 and 1812, broke up the whaling in destructive fashion and the min- eral oil of Pennsylvania assured the end.
