The Beagle was launched in 1820 and on her first voyage of survey in 1826-1830 she was captained by the Australian Phillip Parker King. On her second voyage around the world in 1831-1836, she carried naturalist Charles Darwin. And on her third voyage from 1837-1843 she surveyed much of the territory in and around Australia.
