What reading level is Sailing Ships; the Story of Their Development From the Earliest Times to the Present Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
33 we see another ship of this kind, with rudder still affixed to the starboard, and tiller. We see also that William's men, having been commanded to build ships specially for the purpose of sailing across the Channel, are felling trees. They are seen to be stripping off the bark and planing the wood, whilst other shipwrights are engaged in putting the craft together. Very interesting is the mode of launching shown here. A fine attached to the bows is taken through a ring on a stake, and five 1...35 SAILimrSHTPS men haul away on that. Excepting that nowadays the ship would also be put upon a cradle and a capstan or tackle would be used, the same method is used for haul- ing ashore. Finally, in the same picture also we see the weapons and armour and wine being carried down to the ships (see Fig. 34). It is an historical fact that this wine played no small part in urging the unwilling men to embark on this expedition.
Touching the size of the Norman ships, they did not exceed thirty tons burthen, and as we have seen from the above illustration they were put together on the beach.
