An Evolving Place in History
2004
Even without [Charles Darwin], the authors insist, the captain would merit an esteemed place in history for his considerable accomplishments: as a surveyor, a mariner, the governor of New Zealand during an especially tumultuous period of its colonial history and the founding director of the U.K. Meteorological Office. Why, they demand, should [Robert FitzRoy] languish in Darwin's shadow when it was he who issued the first daily weather forecasts and perfected a storm- warning system that saved thousands of lives? Indeed, the very term \"weather forecast\" was FitzRoy's coinage. Yet for all the Gribbins' trumpeting of FitzRoy's independent claims to immortality, the Darwin voyage was clearly the most enthralling part of the captain's life -- and it's certainly the best part of their book. In the years after the voyage, however, serious ideological differences drove the men apart. FitzRoy, like many educated Victorians -- including the young Darwin -- had no trouble squaring his inherited Anglican faith with the lessons of contemporary science. But after his marriage to the deeply religious Mary O'Brien in 1836, FitzRoy veered off sharply down the path of fundamentalist Christianity and began to hew to a literal interpretation of the Bible. When Darwin turned the world -- and the Bible -- on its head with the publication of \"On the Origin of Species\" in 1859, FitzRoy was appalled that he had served as an unwitting agent in the development of this epochal heresy.
