Attention All Shipping by Charlie Connelly
A Journey Round the Shipping Forecast
A lively travelogue that traces the BBC Shipping Forecast’s familiar sea-area names around Britain, visiting coastal towns, islands and ports to meet fishermen, sailors, lighthouse keepers and weather-watchers; blending maritime history, local anecdote and atmospheric description, it explores how weather, waves and radio broadcasts shape communities and the nation’s relationship with the sea, delivered with wit, curiosity and an affectionate eye for the oddities of life on and beside the water.
