What reading level is The Story of the Island Steamers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the latter point, however, another cable 1 1-2 miles in length had previously been laid, connecting Monomoy point with the main land on the Cape — thence running over a course of 2 1-2 miles to the telegraph office in Chatham.
Like the one laid in 1840, this cable never worked very sat- isfactorily, and the project proved a complete failure, the cable being subsequently taken up and laid from Madaket to Tucker- nuck and thence across to Marthas Vineyard. This second at- tempt was as unsucces...sful as the first, for but a single mes- sage was received over it — telling the arrival of a ship at Edgartown — and this message was received by the late Henry Sidney Valentine. At this time the telegraph office was located in the northeast corner of the brick building on the corner of Main and Orange streets (now known as the Folger Block), in the room now occupied as an office by the Gas and Electric com- pany, and up to a few years ago the bracket to which the wire was fastened remained in place high on the front of the build- ing, as well as a similar bracket on the corner of the Pacific Bank building, to which the wire ran on its way up Liberty Street.
