    "Beagle Diary"
    During the "Beagle" voyage Darwin began writing a diary conveniently named the "Beagle Diary." From the "Beagle's" departure in 1831 to its return in 1836, Darwin described his travels on the "Beagle" as well as discoveries on the five year journey (2018). Darwin would publish the first edition of this journal in 1839 and a second edition in 1845 (2018). References:
