What reading level is The Glorious Shannons Old Blue Duster And Other Faded Flags of Fadeless Fame book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thomas Whin- yates. Captured by the United States sloop Wasp, Master Commandant Jacob Jones. " It is in the collection of naval trophies yet, a split and punctured piece of bunting 19 feet 9 inches long by 10 feet wide. Judged by the standards of to-day, 'tis an ill-designed British flag, the red part being two and a half times as deep as that occupied by the Union Jack whereas modern practice employs a union one half the depth of the field. The Jack itself is so con- structed that the St. Andr...ew's Cross and so-called St. Patrick's Cross are flattened out into thick, almost straight bars, so heavy that the blue of the Jack is crowded down into very thin and very long wedges.
In design the flag is no worse than some other ex- amples from the navy of 1812, and its threadbare and decayed appearance, especially in the upper half, is indication of a century of age. But how the flag, if it was originally the Frolic's ensign, ever reached An- napolis is a question which invites explanation.
The story of the Frolic is one which should thrill every British heart with pride.
