In 1831, Charles Darwin received an astounding invitation to join the HMS Beagle as the ship's naturalist for a trip around the world. Darwin later called the Beagle voyage by far the most important event in his life, saying it determined his whole career. Our HMS Beagle replica is by master craftsmen, built to scale with real wood and actual working meticulously hand built lines. Stands 25 inches tall by 33 inches long by 6 inches wide.
