Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was a lad of 22 when he set off as a supernumerary gentleman-naturalist aboard HMS Beagle under the command of Robert FitzRoy on 27 December 1831. He defied his father's wishes in going, receiving financial sponsorship from his cousin Josiah Wedgwood II (pioneer of bone china). The trip brought Darwin through the Southern Hemisphere over the course of nearly five years; he began on the coasts of South America, visited the Galapagos Islands and sailed west through New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and finally Brazil again before returning to Britain. The voyage of Beagle (her second) was the great formative experience of Darwin's youth.
