Charles Darwin's Beagle Diary

The Beagle Diary was later used to write Darwin's famous book 'Voyage of the Beagle' (1839). The narrative of the surveying voyages of His Majesty's Ships Adventure and Beagle between the years 1826 and 1836. Darwin describes each day of the voyage, some in intimate detail, during the Beagle's circumnavigation of the globe.

7th September 1835

The Beagle sailed for the Galapagos.

Captain Fitzroy’s Journal
The Beagle left Callao, and steered direct towards the Galāpagos Islands, of which, as they are novel ground, I shall be rather minute in my description.

No postings until the Beagle arrives in the Galāpagos Islands on the 15th September.
