Description
Bring a piece of maritime history into your home with this beautifully crafted HMS Beagle Wooden Ship Model. A faithful homage to the legendary vessel that carried Charles Darwin on his groundbreaking voyage, this model is rich in detail and full of character.
This stunning, museum-quality model is made entirely from wood and with its cotton sails and incredibly impressive extensive rigging, it's a very eye-catching piece.
It was during HMS Beagle's second survey voyage to South America that the young Charles Darwin made many of the discoveries that would lead to his theories on evolution. He had been invited on board by her Captain, Robert Fitzroy (of barometer and weather forecasting fame), as a companion to stave off the boredom and loneliness of life at sea, and the two became great friends.
Beagle herself was built as a Cherokee class 10-gun brig in 1820, later adapted as a survey barque – as she is portrayed here, under full sail. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or a lover of nautical décor, this ship makes a striking centrepiece for shelves, studies, or mantelpieces.
