Dogger
Sea area of the Met Office Shipping Forecast. Spans Dogger Bank in the central North Sea, between the UK and continental Europe.
Named after Dogger Bank (from Dutch “doggerschepen,” medieval fishing boats), Dogger is one of the North Sea’s stormiest banks, with frequent winter gales at Force 8–9, rough seas and poor visibility. It was the site of the 1904 Dogger Bank incident and registered the UK’s largest recorded earthquake (magnitude 6.1) in 1931.
