What reading level is Mr Robert Duncan On Evolution in Naval Architecture During the Reign of Queen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Up till the accession of Queen Victoria the change was compara- tively slow but sure. The wooden ship and the wooden steamer grew and multiplied; their development received a fresh start from the new conditions, and they went on again as far as wood with iron, brass, and copper fastenings could safely go. But that combination also has its limits, in dimensions, in strength, in cost, and in durability. It reached its limit of greatest development nearly forty years ago in 10 EVOLUTION IN NAVAL A...RCHITECTURE.
the large Atlantic steamers of the Cunard line, built here by Mr. Steele, and the opposition Collins line in America. Beyond the sizes of those vessels iron and steel only could safely go ; and iron was growing so fast that the fate of the wooden ship, and especially of the wooden steamer, was a foregone conclusion. Hence- forth progress and development in wooden vessels was arrested, and a process of degradation set in, which we also know. There are few wooden vessels of large size now belonging to this country, and scarcely any built in it but the very smallest coasters.
