Narrative of a Voyage to Patagonia and Terra del Fuego: Through the Straits of Magellan, in HMS Adventure and Beagle, in 1826 and 1827 - Cambridge Library Collection - Maritime Exploration
John Macdouall
Originally published in 1833, this is a first-hand account of nineteen months aboard HMS Beagle on her maiden voyage. The author writes amusingly, if at times caustically, preferring anecdotes and observations about the peoples encountered en route to 'the trouble of detailing the monotonous course of a long sea voyage'.
