Shipping Forecast Map Tea Towel

North Utsire, Shannon, Humber, Rockall. The Shipping Forecast is our nation's weather translated into poetry.

This beautiful map of the Forecast was originally hand drawn by artist Kevin Sheehan of Manuscript Maps, and is here printed as a high quality 100% cotton tea towel.

Showing the BBC Radio 4 and Met Office Shipping Forecast regions including their coordinates, the map also includes the coastal weather stations of the British Isles, the Inshore Waters, Beaufort Scale, and maritime signal flags. It's decorated with two ships, a medieval style whale and wind-blowing head, a gannet, a compass rose, and an old-fashioned radio playing Sailing By. A cartouche gives a history of the forecast.

This tea towel will look amazing in your home, or it makes a brilliant gift for any occasion.
