What reading level is Nantucket a History volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Near the center of each division, or about three io8 Nantucket and one half miles apart, was erected a mast provided with cleats, which was used for the purpose of a look- out. Nearby was built a temporary hut for the pro- tection of all excepting the one whose station was on the lookout. When the man at the masthead observed a whale spouting, the alarm was given, the boats were manned and launched, and the chase commenced. A capture made, the whale was towed ashore, and the oil-producing parts... were removed in a similar manner to the custom on shipboard. Try- works were erected on the beach and the blubber, which had been cut and sliced, was subjected to the process of trying out. These try-works were used for many years after shore- fishing had ceased as a constant pursuit; the blubber of the whales captured at sea being cut up and stowed into casks on board of the vessels, and removed to the try-works and the oil extracted after they returned home.
According to Macy's History, the first sperm whale known to Nantucket people was found on shore dead ; and the discovery, according to the account, created quite a sensation.
