Viking, Forties, Dogger, Fisher, Sole. The Shipping Forecast is quintessentially British, and is here beautifully illustrated in this originally hand-drawn and watercolour-painted map.
My Shipping Forecast Map was originally hand-drawn, showing the regions including coordinates, Inshore Waters, and coastal weather stations. It's exquisitely decorated with a history of the Forecast, the Beaufort Scale, maritime signal flags, and much more.
One of my best-sellers, for this special version of the map I partnered with a master watercolour artist who painted the entire map by hand. Her intricate watercolour is replicated in 200 limited edition giclée prints using the finest pigment-based inks so the colour will look amazing for decades.
For anyone who loves the Forecast, or all things nautical, this map is spectacular.
