Beagle during which Charles Darwin was a passenger formed the central part of a series of three expeditions mounted by the Admiralty to survey and chart the South American coastline. This process started in 1826 and continued until 1837. One of the 170 major surveying expeditions sent out by Sir Francis Beaufort of the Hydrographic Department in the autumn of 1831, was commanded by Captain Robert FitzRoy and was to take H.M.S. Beagle on her second voyage to the coasts of South America. Captain FitzRoy furnished the Admiralty with 82 coastal sheets, 80 plans of harbours and 40 views covering the southern portions of the continent of South America. He gained considerable public honour and recognition, and received the Royal Geographical Society's medal in 1837, establishing himself as a first-rate hydrographer and surveyor.
