The HMS Beagle.
The Beagle
Yes, the first European ship to see Darwin harbour was the Beagle and her captain (John Clements Wickham) named it after Charles Darwin - Wickham had sailed with Darwin on the famous 2nd voyage of the Beagle.
HMS Beagle was a ship of the Royal Navy. Darwin did not own it. He needed permission from the ruler, which he acquired, to use it.
