To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They bought shares in the ships they sailed, and profited, and bought more. Some of them, shrewd 202 OLD CAPE COD traders by instinct, gave up the sea for an office ashore, and as East India merchants laid the secure foundation of more than one snug urban fortune that survives to-day.
CHAPTER VIII OLD SEA WAYS I Sixty years ago the thread snapped in that fine sea- piece of the American foreign trade, and now the call- ing and time of those deep-water sailors are dead as Nineveh. But Old Cape Co...d was one with the illimit- able seas and the spot most loved by men for whom the ocean was a workroom where fortunes m'ght be made to spend at home. No picture of these men could be complete without the background of their life afloat. For five decades Yankee ships were weaving at the great loom of the Western Ocean to set the splen- did colors of European adventure into new patterns of romance. Their tea-frigates raced around the "Cape" to the Far East; they took the short cut about Scotland to bargain with Kronstadt and Ham- burg and Elsinore; barques and brigan tines and full- riggers caught the "brave west winds" at the right slant and made record voyages past old Leeuwin, the Cape of Storms, standing out there to give them a last toss as they " ran down by " to Port Philip and "Meibun" and Sydney; clipper ships, the fastest under sail that have ever been known, winged their way around to "Frisco" in the great days of '49.
