What reading level is The Question of Ships the Navy And the Merchant Marine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Fifty- six boys were sent to sea from this place last year, six of whom entered the navy as bandsmen, much attention being also given to music.
" This method of having a means of nautical train- ing attached to institutions of this kind is very well thought of. Many boys thus receive sufficient train- ing to fit them to early become good sailors, and a taste for the sea is fostered in a class for which there is too little employment of a fixed kind." To meet the demands for officers there are t...wo ships, the Conway, anchored off Liverpool, and the Worcester, anchored off London. These school- ships are employed mainly to train and educate boys for officers of the Merchant Marine, but pupils intended for the Royal Navy are also admitted and receive a special training. On each ship an efficient nautical and civil staff is maintained, and the course, which requires two years, includes mathe- matics as far as spherical trigonometry, the theory and practice of navigation, magnetism, meteorol- ogy, and such seamanship as can be acquired on board ship at an anchorage ; this last, it is true, may not be much, but it is of such sufficient value as to warrant the Board of Trade in reckoning the full period as one year spent actually afloat off soundings.
