Evoking the spirit of open horizons, salt air and long ocean passages, this heavy duty, beautifully made tea towel is far more than a kitchen linen, it is a love letter to the sea and the art of navigation. At its heart lies the iconic Shipping Forecast, with a reassuring and poetic rhythm of place names Viking, Forties, Dogger, Fisher, Sole  which has guided generations of sailors and captured the imagination of landlubbers alike.

The detailed map showcases the BBC Radio 4 and Met Office Forecast regions with their precise coordinates, the coastal weather stations of the British Isles, features including the Inshore Waters, Beaufort Scale and maritime signal flags. 

Printed on robust, tactile fabric that softens beautifully with use, this tea towel feels substantial in the hand and is designed to be both practical and treasured. It works just as well in a busy kitchen as it does aboard a boat, or displayed in a frame as a piece of maritime art.
