	The Voyage of the Beagle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Voyage of the Beagle is a title commonly given to the book written by Charles Darwin published in 1839 as his Journal and Remarks, which brought him considerable fame and respect.
		Robert McCormick, the Beagle's surgeon, quite reasonably felt he was being supplanted, as the gentleman Darwin received all the invitations from dignitaries onshore, and was sufficiently disgruntled to leave the ship here.
		At Bahia Blanca, waiting for the Beagle, he revisited Punta Alta and found bones of another megatherium, this time undisturbed in situ in a context of layers of sediments including modern shells that indicated that the climate had not changed much since their extinction, with no signs of a sudden catastrophic flood.

		HMS Beagle was a 10 gun brig of the Royal Navy, named after the Beagle breed of dog.
		In July she took part in a naval review celebrating the coronation of King George IV of the United Kingdom in which she was the first ship to sail under the new London Bridge.
		Her guns were reduced from ten cannons to six and a mizzenmast was added to improve her manoeuvrability, thereby changing her from a brig to a bark (or barque).

	HMS 'Beagle' - - Port Cities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Beagle made three voyages of exploration. During the first to South America between 1826 and 1830, the captain, Commander Pringle Stokes, shot himself in a fit of depression and was replaced by Robert Fitzroy. He was also given command for the second voyage to South America and then around the world.
		HMS Beagle was not built for exploration, but was adapted from one of the Cherokee Class of 10-gun sailing ships, known in the Royal Navy as ‘coffin brigs’. They got this nickname because out of the 107 built, 26 were lost at sea. Beagle was built in 1820 at Woolwich Dockyard.

	The Galapagos Track of HMS Beagle
		However, if the Beagle were indeed at the position indicated by today's noon latitude and longitude entries, and thus some 41 miles distant from the island, it seems unlikely that an observer would grossly understate the distance at 10 miles.
		For comparison purposes, the detail view indicates the position of the Beagle based on the two noon entries of latitude and longitude, and also shows the bearing taken at 10:00 am on 15 September.
		Surveys taken by H. Beagle during the first few years of its voyage were sent to England from various locations in South America, and received by the Hydrographic Office at intervals between 1832 and 1835.

		Launched in 1820 at Woolwich Royal Dockyard on the Thames, the Beagle was a 90ft, 10-gun brig, one of the commonest class of warships built by the Navy.
		But detailed detective work by Prescott has since revealed that for many years the Beagle was moored in mid-stream on the River Roach, where it was perfectly placed to intercept smugglers bringing in contraband along the maze of rivers, channels and creeks that criss-cross the marshes south of Burnham-on-Crouch.
		The Beagle came from a class of ship that was the mainstay of the Royal Navy for many decades, although surprisingly little is known of this type of craft.

		Coastal survey vessel HMS Beagle (H319) was built by Brooke Marine at Lowestoft, and launched on September 7, 1967.
		When she first commissioned, in 1968, charting was a labour-intensive operation, but Beagle's integrated navigation and survey system, combining input from precision ranging radar and sonars, means she can process charts in real time as she gathers data.
		HMS Beagle is due back in Devonport on January 18, when she will fly her paying-off pennant after almost 33 years of surveying work and other tasks around the globe.
