Hms beagle - survey ship extraordinary

This is a history of the 10-gun brig and survey ship, HMS @00000373@Beagle@00000155@. It became famous for her survey voyages under Commander Robert Fitzroy, especially once Charles Darwin, a passenger on the second expedition, wrote the @00000373@On the Origin of Species@00000155@, which was based on studies undertaken during the voyage. As part of the renowned Anatomy of the Ship series, this book provides the finest documentation of the @00000373@Bellona@00000155@, with a complete set of superb line drawings, supported by technical details and a record of the ship's service history.
