Meet James Fitzroy Captain of the Beagle Expedition
Hear first hand the account of the famous voyage of HMS Beagle as it surveyed the waters of the Pacific Ocean, with her famous passenger and naturalist Charles Darwin.On board Beagle, Darwin collected evidence that would lead him to his theory of how life evolved on earth.
Hear wonderous descriptions of the Galapagos Islands, his many dinners and discussions with Darwin in the captain’s cabin and the friendship they formed on the five year voyage of discovery.
HMS Trincomalee under the command of Wallace Houstoun would visit the same ocean and locations during her second commission sixteen years later from 1852-57. Captain Houstoun named a harbour in the Queen Charlotte islands after the ship, when exploring the North Pacific.
Also in the collection we have the medals and edged weapons of John Hindmarsh, who was a lieutenant on board another HMS Beagle, launched in 1804.
Talks will last 30 minutes and will be delivered once a day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for two weeks. Booking isn't required.
Starting on Tuesday 7 April and finishing on Thursday 15 April. Times TBC.
