Thank you Bartosz.
So I loaded europe-111004, but I got the following very strange message:

Warning: using default sort
SEVERE (CoastlineFileLoader): ./coastlines_europe-111004.osm.pbf: 
Coastline file  not found.
SEVERE (LocationHook): ./coastlines_europe-111004.osm.pbf: Disable 
LocationHook because boundary directory does not exist. Dir: bounds
SEVERE (LocationHook): 63240001.osm.pbf: Disable LocationHook because 
boundary directory does not exist. Dir: bounds

boundary directory does not exist. Dir: bounds

bash-4.1$

The result of this is that I get no sea at all!

Hey - at least the flooding has gone! :-)

I have no idea why mkgmap makes the claim 
"coastlines_europe-111004.osm.pbf: Coastline file  not found." The file 
is most certainly there. I have tried it as 
"./coastlines_europe-111004.osm.pbf" and as just plain vanilla 
"coastlines_europe-111004.osm.pbf".

Same problem both ways. This was with mkgmap r2045.
I think I was getting the "Disable LocationHook ...." error message 
originally, i.e. without the --coastlinefile param.
