What reading level is Famous Sea Fights book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The works were old, andhad been hurriedly repaired. Most of them dated from the time of theEnglish occupation of the island during the Napoleonic wars. [22] Persanoexpected that Lissa would be a very easy nut to crack.
[22] Some of the forts were still known by English names, such as Wellington Tower, Bentinck Tower, and Robertson Tower.
On 16 July the Italian fleet sailed from Ancona. Even now Persano carriedout his operations with leisurely deliberation. On the 17th he reconnoitredLissa, ...approaching in his flagship under French colours. Early on the 18ththe fleet closed in upon the island, flying French colours, till it was inposition before the batteries.
The commandant had cable communication with Pola by a line running byLesina to the mainland. He reported to Tegethoff the appearance of thedisguised fleet, and then the opening of the attack on his batteries. Atfirst the Austrian admiral could hardly believe that the Italians hadcommitted themselves to such an ill-judged enterprise, and thought that theattack on Lissa might be only a feint meant to draw his fleet away from theNorthern Adriatic, and leave an opening for a dash at Pola, Trieste, orVenice itself.
