Admiral FitzRoy made his name as a captain on the HMS Beagle. It
was for his second voyage on the ship (1832-36) that he decided to
ask Charles Darwin to accompany him, and it was during this time
that Darwin began to develop the ideas that would lead him to his
theory of evolution by natural selection. But there was so much
more to FitzRoy than this: he was an MP, he was the second governor
of New Zealand form 1843-45 when he made himself unpopular with the
settlers by upholding Maori rights, and in 1854 he set up the
Meteorological Office so for the first time sailors could know what
weather to expect when they set sail.
