You guys are amazing :) thank you for making really clever & educating content all the time. Objectivity is like a museum tour right at my fingertips. Thanks Keith & Brady!

They mention Captain Fitzroy who is actually a fascinating character. If you like reading about things nautical and want to find out more about Fitzroy's tragic tale and his relationship with Darwin, get a copy of This Thing of Darkness by Harry Thompson. It's more interesting than you expect, I promise you.

When Brady asked "Walter White?" Keith missed an opportunity to say "You're God damn right."

There's a description of Darwin's 'line crossing ceremony' at the equator on Wikipedia. He "was placed on a plank, which could be easily tilted up into a large bath of water. They then lathered my face & mouth with pitch and paint, & scraped some of it off with a piece of roughened iron hoop. -a signal being given I was tilted head over heels into the water, where two men received me & ducked me. -at last, glad enough, I escaped. - most of the others were treated much worse"

This is really incredible what you're doing here. I may never make it to England, let alone the Royal Society, but there are just so many interesting physical objects squirreled away! You are doing a great service to share these precious objects with the world!

My grandpa (currently 80 years old) has like 25-30 of these kinda ships, and made 50+ in his life. They are beautiful trust me.

I can't explain in words how grateful I am for these video's. They are simply amazing. Thank you for all your efforts!

We have a first edition of the Voyage of the Beagle at the library I work at. I was looking at Darwin's journal a few weeks ago. They spent Christmas here in New Zealand, but Darwin didn't have a good impression of the people.

Haha. Keith's face when he realized where Brady was going with 'Keith Moore has... me" priceless.

Still reading The Eruption of Krakatoa and Subsequent Phenomena (thanks to one of your viewers who provided a link in the comments section of that video), and now I have four more volumes added to my reading list. Many thanks, guys! =-)

Going across the equator was a big deal during the times of sailing ships, because the winds near the equator are often non existent for long periods of time, which was obviously a big problem for ships who depended on them for their propulsion. No wonder they had special rituals and celebrations to mark successful crossings.

How many of these kinds of books are digitized? I'd quite like to read the Captain's logs from a famous ship. Not necessarily the Beagle's captain, but I often see books on Objectivity that I can't find on Project Gutenberg.

I love objectivity. Inspires me to get my uni work done.

"Here is the best map our experts can supply you with..." (Hands over a blank sheet of paper) "They'd be glad if you could fill it in as you go" :)

Man I love this channel. Amazing stuff Brady & Keith!

I don't know why but I really want to see Brady accidentally break something priceless one day.

Possibly my favourite video till now! Loved it, great choice Brady :)

Keith is probably why i watch this channel .... is that weird i mean i like brady also but keith is the one who knows his stuff!

A first edition of On the origins of species sold in 2009 for £103,000

That's definitely an interesting ship.

Fantastic

Darwin was NOT the ship scientist. He was the captain´s gentleman companion, needed because said captain was afraid he´d get suicidal if he didn´t have anyone to talk to. I´m pretty sure the ship surgeon was officially responsible for collecting stuff and describing them. Darwin just ended up being better at it.

Could you guys make a video about John Harrison and the problem of longitude? I'd be interested to know if the Royal Society has any of his timepieces!

Must be an amazing feeling to hold a book that Darwin himself had in his hands 150 years earlier.

I love how you can't contain your excitement when the subject is adventures :).

Super interesting episode, Brady! And what a beautiful model of the Beagle! :) #KeithRocks

Yes Brady, the ship is the most important crew member I'd say

Yay! More ocean discovery please?

people who cross the equator by boat are called shellbacks, and they often had a bit of a party for newbies

That is an impressively good map for people having no aerial capabilities.

Its cool to know that at Fitzroy time, the captain of the ship was refrained from having casual conversation, or any kind of relation to that matter, with any lesse crew member or oficial. its most likely Fitzroy accepted Darwin's letter asking to be on the next voyage of the beagle because he was afraid of going MAD from isolation during the journey. Its also interesting to note that, considering Fitzroy was a bit of a conservative, he and Darwin didn't go along very well at all.

Superb video! : ) just a shame you didn't show the Fitzroy Storm/weather glass. Maybe for another video?

I can't believe there isn't a Wikipedia page about Walter White.

Amazing and educating once again :) I'd love to see a Q&A sometime, who is with me?

"Hi there everyone, today we are in the Royal Society cancer room which is a real pleasure."

They're like two dads reading me a picture book as I lay here in bed. I can't wait until next time :)

Now i really wanna sit down and read those accounts by fitzroy... I wonder if universities library has a copy of them.

SO jealous right now...!

On April 1st you should take a mystery box out of the archives, but it should be empty, so it would be like: Brady: So Keith, what's the story behind this object? Keith: Well this is air, it's really interesting, because we use this to breathe.

If Brady replies to this comment, I swear I'll send a letter to Keith to reveal that I'm in love with him.

I'd love for the Beagle to have been preserved but if every ships, buildings, instruments that I'd love to have been preserved had been then there would not be any space for new things.

Brady, you look surprisingly similar to a young charles darwin!

❤

I want a ship model.

Darwin discovered the Bradypuss!

Now you you should do an episode about Walter White!

hey how about Forbes and the Beacon?

Is the mentioned Vera Cruz in Brazilian territory?

Charles Darwin looks like Max egan. Although Max egan is slightly more handsome than the former.

@5:15 he actually says Walter White.

What happened to your white gloves Brady?

Walter white gets darwin, Keith gets Brady, who does the next get?

just came from your Snapchat

no dislikes, nice

I just typed beagle on youtube search bar

Rebuild the ship from the model. x3

723 to 0 that ratio

5:08 That's a cover for coocking meth

Who could be more famous... Isaac Newton?

20 seconds ago? Oh damn

Good video, but it leaves off with a bit of a downer.

He looks more credible without his hipster beard😂-still think his theory is seriously flwed and untrue though
