Admiral John Lort Stokes, RN (1 August 1811〔Hordern 2003, p. 3〕 – 11 June 1885)〔Although 1812 is frequently given as Stokes's year of birth, it has been argued by author Marsden Hordern that Stokes was born in 1811, citing a letter by fellow naval officer Crawford Pasco congratulating him on his birthday in 1852.〕 was an officer in the Royal Navy who travelled on for close to eighteen years. ==Biography== Stokes grew up in Scotchwell near Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. He joined the Navy on 20 September 1824. The first ship he served on was HMS ''Prince Regent'', then in October 1825 he joined the crew of the ''Beagle'' under Captain Phillip Parker King. The ''Beagle'' was involved in a survey of the waters of South America. In 1828 the commander of HMS ''Beagle'', Pringle Stokes (not related to John Lort Stokes), died and Robert FitzRoy assumed command; the ship returned to England in 1830 and was recommissioned. From 1831 to 1836 Stokes served under FitzRoy as assistant surveyor for the second voyage of the ''Beagle'', and shared his cabin with Charles Darwin who was on board in a private capacity as a self funded naturalist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Darwin Correspondence Project » letter: 127 – Darwin, C.
