Description
Celebrating 100 years of the Shipping Forecast, first broadcast on the BBC in October 1925: a fascinating companion to the oddly British obsession with the weather and the cult popularity of the daily forecast for British waters, which has won an audience much wider than those who sail and need the vital, life-saving information contained in the broadcast. Ten intriguing chapters each explore a different area of British maritime history with informative notes and guidance on understanding the institution that is the Shipping Forecast. An engaging conversational text weaves contemporary experiences with historical episodes and characters in this tribute to British maritime history and culture. From stormy weather, maps, the history of weather warnings; to poetry and songs inspired by the Forecast. Discover what the Forecast means to us as a nation and how it has become essential listening in a century of broadcasts.
