H.M.S. Beagle: Survey Ship of Darwin's Historic Voyage

H.M.S. Beagle = His/Her Majesty's Ship Beagle, a Royal Navy Cherokee-class brig-sloop.

Famous Second Voyage (1831–1836)

  • Captain: Robert FitzRoy
  • Naturalist: Charles Darwin
  • Mission: Hydrographic survey of South America, Pacific islands, Australia.
  • Outcome: Darwin's observations (Galápagos finches, fossils, biogeography) led to On the Origin of Species (1859) and theory of evolution by natural selection.

The Beagle's voyages revolutionized geology, biology, and anthropology. The ship was sold in 1870 and broken up; a replica stands in Plymouth.
