HMS Beagle
HMS ''Beagle'' was a ''Cherokee''-class 10-gun brig-sloop of the Royal Navy, one of more than 100 ships of this class. The vessel, constructed at a cost of £7,803, was launched on 11 May 1820 from the Woolwich Dockyard on the River Thames. In July of that year she took part in a fleet review celebrating the coronation of King George IV of the United Kingdom, and for that occasion is said to have been the first ship to sail completely under the old London Bridge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.portcities.org.uk/london/server/show/ConFactFile.64/HMS-Beagle.html )〕 There was no immediate need for ''Beagle'' so she "lay in ordinary", moored afloat but without masts or rigging. She was then adapted as a survey barque and took part in three expeditions. On the second survey voyage the young naturalist Charles Darwin was on board, and his work made ''Beagle'' one of the most famous ships in history.〔(HMS ''Beagle'' - Port Cities, London ), Royal Museum Greenwich, retrieved 3 February 2013, the story about sailing full-rigged under London Bridge appears on page 332 of William Howitt's 1865 ''(The history of discovery in Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand )'', Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts, and Green, London.〕
==Design and construction==
The ''Cherokee''-class of 10-gun brig-sloops was designed by Sir Henry Peake in 1807, and eventually over 100 were constructed. The working drawings for HMS ''Beagle'' and HMS ''Barracouta'' were issued to the Woolwich Dockyard on 16 February 1817, and amended in coloured ink on 16 July 1817 with modifications to increase the height of the bulwarks (the sides of the ship extended above the upper deck) by an amount varying from at the stem to at the stern. The ''Beagles keel was laid in June 1818, construction cost £7,803, and the ship was launched on 11 May 1820. There was no immediate need for ''Beagle'' so she was placed "in ordinary", moored afloat but without masts or rigging. In July of that year she took part in a fleet review on the River Thames, celebrating the coronation of King George IV of the United Kingdom.〔
