What reading level is The Panama Canal Review 16, August book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Navy men stationed at Coco Solo, made an attempt which received the approval of the Canal authorities.
Marvin Beacham of the Submarine Base and Regis Parton of the Fleet Air Base, both members of the Southern Cross Swimming Club, planned to make the first non-stop swim from the Atlan- tic to the Pacific. They were to be ac- companied by two U.S. Navy launches carrying men with rifles. The launches were to have towed a net especially prepared for the swimmers to "insure their safety against fish..., alligators, suc- tion and other accompanying dangers." The project was canceled, however, when the plan was firmlv vetoed by the Commandant of the 15th Naval District in Balboa.
During World War II, the Canal was a busy place and so were the people who might have had a ven to swim the Canal.
It was not until 1950 that a request was received from another aspiring Canal swimmer. He was Charles McGinn, a U.S. Military Academy cadet in the class of 1953 who was coming to the Canal Zone to spend his leave with his parents in Gatun.
