Sir Francis Beaufort's historic scale helps explain wind force with clear and beautiful phrases—"crested wavelets form on inland waters" or "inconvenience in walking against wind." The descriptions of the thirteen categories, from Calm to Hurricane, provide a poetic rhythm with page design that echoes the strengthening wind as the reader progresses.

Created at the Jaffe Center for Book Arts in an edition of 13 copies during hurricane season 2015. Housed in a cloth covered clamshell box with a printed table of the scale's thirteen levels of wind force.
