A ship called the Beagle carried a British scientific expedition around the world in the 1830s. Exploration then was as much about discovering new plants and animals as about finding new places.
[One of the Beagle scientists' most amazing finds was the 1.2-metre-long giant tortoise of the Galapagos Islands.]
[The Beagle's most famous crew member was scientist Charles Darwin.]
