Fitzroy, Vice-Admiral Robert (1805–65), commanded the
Beagle in the surveying expedition to Patagonia and the Straits of Magellan (1823–36), having C.
Darwin as naturalist for the last five years; like Darwin, he wrote a narrative of the voyage. He suggested the plan of the Fitzroy barometer, and instituted a system of storm warnings, the first British weather forecasts.
