SHIPPING FORECAST MAP

by Manuscript Maps

Viking, Forties, Dogger, Fisher, Sole. The Shipping Forecast is a much-loved staple of BBC Radio and a unique part of British culture. Carefully recited to a highly technical formula, the forecast is almost poetic, and many can recall each area in turn - but do you know where they are?

My original Shipping Forecast Map was drawn in 2014, then the 2020 second edition was enlarged and significantly expanded with many new additions. This third edition adds even more, including new decorations, a northern gannet, a second ship, and ‘Sailing By’ playing from the radio: the much-beloved music always played before the 00:48 forecast.

Perfect for the 'salty sea-dog' in your life.

You can also buy just the map print by itself (£10 less & ships internationally). View my other listings to find it.

Additionally, this map is available as a tea towel/bar towel and as 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles. Check out my other listings.
