Darwin Harbour is the body of water close to Darwin in the Australian Northern Territory. It opens to the north at a line from Charles Point in the west to Lee Point in the east into the Beagle Gulf and connects via the Clarence Strait with the Van Diemen Gulf.〔N Smit, R Billyard and L Ferns: ''(Beagle Gulf Benthic Survey: Characterisation of soft substrates. )'' Technical Report No. 66 (2000), Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory.〕 It contains Port Darwin, which is flanked by Frances Bay to the east and Cullen Bay to the west. == Name ==
It was named after the naturalist Charles Darwin who sailed with Robert Fitzroy on the ship HMS ''Beagle'' around parts of Australia. However, Darwin and Fitzroy sailed in 1836 from King George's Sound (Western Australia) directly to the Cocos-Keeling Islands, at the south coast of Java, and from there to Cape Town and back to England. They stayed thus away from Darwin Harbour by 3000 sea miles and did not know of its existence.〔Alan Powell:''(Who Named Beagle Gulf?: A Cautionary Tale ).
