Beagle and the Pacific Crate Trade Saga
An account traces the Beagle schooner and partners Bloom and Douglas, tasked to patrol Pacific grounds and suppress unrest, later selling the vessel from the Ber- vian to conduct mercantile work. The voyage included gold payments, muttered suspicions at Customs, and arrests of crew linked to an Australian venture. The Beagle faced trials in Solomon Islands and Hawaii on route to Melbourne, ending with Master GM Rowe navigating uncertain trade commitments.
