title: Deep depression: mapping, weather forecasting and The Beagle.
abstract: This paper traces the voyage of HMS Beagle under the command of Robert FitzRoy, in which Charles Darwin travelled as naturalist. It examines FitzRoy's subsequent career and the coincidence that he, and two other hydrographers connected with the vessel, fell prey to depression.
