For Enhanced members
Fair Weather, and Why It Is Feared
The Basin keeps better loss records than any water in the world and they are open to anybody who asks. What they show, consistently across eleven harbours and four centuries, is that a substantial share of losses on that sea occur in conditions no northern master would call dangerous. The share does not vary with the port, with the age of the register, or with the quality of the pilotage.
The rest of this chapter is kept for Enhanced members of the Hall, who may read every chapter of the seven volumes.
