Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
Robert FitzRoy was one of the nineteenth century's greatest seamen. In 1831, he embarked on an epic journey round the world as the captain of HMS Beagle, bringing with him a young naturalist, Charles Darwin. Their discoveries during the five-year voyage led to Darwin's revolutionary theory of evolution. FitzRoy was appointed the second Governor of New Zealand, and later became the founding director of the Meteorological office, where his work helped make the life of all sailors who came after him much safer.
