The Empire State building

Hi kids!

After we bravely piloted through the East River (sailing over the
bones of the sailors wrecked and sunk there over the centuries) we
rounded the bottom end on Manhattan and went up the Hudson River to
park the boat on a mooring. Then I got off the boat to go shopping for
new charts. While I walked around I saw this building.

It's called the Empire State Building. It was built in 1932 and was
the tallest building in the world for forty years. It's a landmark of
New York City. It's like WAYYY tall.

Then in 1973 some showoffs built two taller buildings in New zyork
called the World Trade Towers. Then some other showoffs in Chicago
built an even taller building.

Then Kuala Lumper, Malaysia, got into the act. Then Dubai, then who
even knows where the worlds tallest building is any more. Seems like
everyone wants the tallest one.

Maybe we should get Camptown to build one next. Compare and discuss.
