Darwin started collecting information during his mid 20s. He contaminated most of his specimen collection because of lack of knowledge. Many of the specimens had long hence decomposed after the 5 year voyage on the beagle. He published the Origins of species at the age of 50. At the time it was published he stated the work was very flawed. He admitted he did not have a way to completely back up his claims. The book is commonly referred to as Darwin's theory of evolution. Darwin's research is the same as carbon dating, flawed and usually wrong.
The five-year expedition's purpose was to collect hydrographic, geologic, and meteorologic data from many regions of the world.
Charles Darwin started thinking about the variety of life and how it had come about when he was 22, and invited to join a voyage round the world on the H.M.S. Beagle, a ship responsible for travelling the globe and making maps of coastlines. The ship's captain, Robert FitzRoy, was a lonely man and wanted a friend for the trip to keep him company. The Beagle was to go all the way across the Atlantic to South America to draw maps of the coastline. They returned home via the Galapagos, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. It was when he was in the Galapagos islands, and he observed the variations of finches on the different islands, that he started to think about the variety of life.
Evidence of evolution began to be recognised as far back as the eighteenth century, but naturists could not yet identify an explanation for this evidence. Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet (1744-1829) was an early advocate of evolution and believed that it proceeded in accordance with natural laws.Thus Charles Darwin (1809-1892) was not the first to study evolution, but he was the first to recognise the role of natural selection in evolution. He had studied medicine, before dropping out and studying taxidermy, then natural history. His father enrolled Charles to study theology, hoping he would become a clergyman. Charles Darwin developed the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection after observing the evidence for evolution during his voyage in HMS Beagle. The captain of the Beagle was already aware of evolutionary theories that were already beginning to shock Christian believers in Europe, and had hoped that by having a naturalist on board he might obtain geological evidence to refute the them. During the voyage, from 1831 to 1836, Darwin travelled hundreds of miles inland, from country to country, trying to interpret the fauna, flora and geological formations. He then spent a further twenty years gathering and investigating evidence before publishing his conclusions.Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection says that species evolved over time in response to changes in the natural environment, and is seen by scientists as the best explanation for the facts. Darwin wrote Origin of Species in 1859 and The Descent of Man in 1871.The English naturalist Alfred Russell Wallace also invented the theory of natural selection, independent of Charles Darwin. However, he believed that natural selection did not apply to humans, because our evolution was divinely guided. In the years since, paleoanthropologists have found ample evidence that human evolution did occur as the result of natural selection, just as the evolution of all other species did.

Charles Darwin travelled on HMS Beagle on his voyage
Darwin served as the naturalist on the HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836.
His/Her Majesty's Ship Beagle. It is the ship that Charles Darwin made his famous voyage of discovery on. The trip has been memorialized in the book The Voyage of the Beagle. and been parodied in The Voyage of the Space Beagle.
During the voyage of the Beagle, Charles Darwin was mentored by John Stevens Henslow . Henslow was a brilliant English botanist.

He was really sick and almost died
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.
