The Shipping Forecast

The Shipping Forecast, originally published in 1996, is Mark Power's illustration of the UK's Shipping Forecast, broadcast four times a day on BBC Radio 4. Beyond its useful and (at times life-saving) use to mariners it is also listened to by millions of people who tune in across the UK. The forecast covers the waters of Western Europe and separates them into 31 sea areas encompassing the UK, from Dover to Southeast Iceland to German Bight-- of which Power photographed all of them, over a period of four years. Each image is captioned with the 0600hr forecast on the day they were taken. This newly edited and revised second edition includes over 100 previously unpublished images.
