The Beagle was a Royal Naval surveying ship under the command of Lieutenant Robert FitzRoy. Its task was to survey the waters around South America, particularly the passages around Cape Horn and return via Australia. FitzRoy was able to take a companion so that he had someone of equal or equivalent rank to talk to on the voyage and chose Darwin when he applied for the position. Darwin came with recommendations because of his work as a naturalist.
Darwin was not paid but he did have a few commissions to undertake biological and geological studies.
