This dictionary from 1856 provides an overview of maritime terminology and legal regulations related to shipping and trade. As a reference work from the nineteenth century, it features formal, somewhat archaic Dutch vocabulary and long, complex sentence structures that reflect the writing style of that era. It is a demanding read for learners, as it requires patience to navigate the intricate syntax and specialized nautical jargon. The text offers a unique window into the historical connection between the Dutch people and the sea.

Questions about this book
What level of Dutch do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 9 h 59 min at a native pace, spread over 28 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
