The following map shows Darwin's entire journey. The part that we're going on is shown with the orange line.
I've compressed the trip just a bit so that you won't have to spend all your time at sea. Our major ports of call will be:
- Tenerife, Canary Islands
- St. Jago, Cape Verde Islands
- Salvador, Brazil
- Rio d Janiero, Brazil
However, it's likely that the Beagle will meet other ships while at sea. In such cases, the captains
usually exchange news and sometimes trade items. |
