An inspiring people talk featuring Charlie Connelly, author of Attention All Shipping: A Journey Round the Shipping Forecast, is scheduled for the University of Edinburgh on 3 December 2026 at 19:30. Further pricing details are available via the website.
Charlie Connelly, author of the bestselling travelogue Attention All Shipping: A Journey Round the Shipping Forecast which has sold more than a quarter-of-a-million copies, reveals the remarkable history of the forecast and describes some of the more out-of-the-way places he visited on his journey around the 31 sea areas of the shipping forecast map. Exploring the shared intimacy of the daily beating of the national bounds that is the solemn, rhythmic intonation of the shipping forecast, Charlie’s hilarious and informative stories bring this beloved favourite, of mariners and insomniacs, vividly to life.
