HMS Beagle is making its way across the vast At-
lantic. The ship looks like any ordinary cargo or passen-
ger ship, but its journey is a journey of discovery, and
one that will last many years. Setting out from England, it will cross the
entire ocean and reach the shores of South America.
The Beagle, a ship that had been of little known importance until that

time, was setting out on a 5 year voyage.
That which would ultimately make that ship famous was its passen-
ger, Charles Robert Darwin, a 22 year-old naturalist. He had not actually
studied biology but had been a student of theology at the University of
Cambridge.
