The Voyage of the Beagle
On 27 December 1831, HMS Beagle sailed out of Devonport on a voyage that would take it from Plymouth to Madeira and the Canary islands, to the Cape Verde islands, Brazil, the Falklands, the Galapagos, New Zealand, Australia and Tasmania. On this trip was a young Charles Darwin, and the discoveries he made there set him on a path to his momentous work on evolution, as detailed in The Origin of the Species.
