The Voyage of the Beagle is a book written by Charles Darwin and published in 1839. The title refers to the second survey expedition of the ship HMS Beagle, which set sail from Plymouth Sound on 27 December, 1831 under the command of captain Robert Fitzroy. The book, also known as Darwin's Journal of Researches, is a vivid and exciting travel memoir as well as a detailed scientific field journal covering biology, geology, and anthropology that demonstrates Darwin's keen powers of observation, written at a time when Western Europeans were exploring and charting the whole world.
