What reading level is Man And Nature On Tidal Waters book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The end of the winch-rope was attached to a stake, or to some vessel moored to the quayside, and the boat was allowed to drift the length of it. When the rope was all unwound, the dredge was thrown over and a hand-over-hand turning of the winch by means of the pegs slowly dragged the net over the bottom. When it was hauled up, after a preliminary rinsing to clear away the mud, its contents were shot into the boat, and a mixed gathering it was ! Bones, coal, stones, crabs, mussels* pieces of scr...ap iron, and even flounders and pogges were turned out of the dredge. Subsequently the " catch " was shovelled into baskets, taken ashore, and shot on to a board supported by trestles, where it was sorted over, perhaps by the musseler's wife and children.
" Ah ! bor, " said " Short'un " Page, " I've done my whack at musselin'. In the winter months, when other work was scarce, theer'd be as many as a dozen or more boats at it, musselin' in the river, or up Breydon. I once worked for old Ben Bessey, gettin' a guinea a week and all my beer.
