Continuing a 22-year tradition, this edition of the Almanac again seeks to present the best, most reliable and most up-to-date navigational data. Coverage now includes the entire European Atlantic area - the UK, Ireland and the European coastline from the tip of Denmark right down to Gibralter.

Added this year to the range of Macmillan Reeds Nautical Almanacs, the Eastern Almanac 2002 covers the east coast of Scotland and England, and the eastern Continental coasts of Belgium and Holland. It provides heavily illustrated habour, marina, coastal and tidal information, to exactly the same level of detail as is found in the main Macmillan Reeds Nautical Almanac. With data gathered from many different sources, including its own network of local agents, the Almanac is rigorously checked to ensure that it is both safe and fully informative.
