The Shipping Forecast Book

Celebrating a hundred years since the first Radio 4 broadcast, this book takes you to the heart of what the Shipping Forecast means to us as a nation.

Each of the ten chapters brings you on a fascinating exploration of a different area of our British maritime history, from stormy weather up above to the seabed far below, and from fishing boats to the art, songs and poems inspired by the forecast.

Features illustrations and fascinating facts about each sea area.
