On a previous expedition to St. Helena, he made an important contribution to knowledge of the trade winds. 1768-1780 A.D. James Cook explores the southern parts of the oceans looking for the southern continent. He was the first to use a chronometer to determine longitude. 1831-1836 A.D. Charles Darwin sails on the Beagle, exploring the Galapagos and many other areas. It is this work which led him to develop the concept of natural selection and evolution. 1872-1876 A.D. The H.M.S. Challenger travels around the world on a scientific mission; taking sediment samples, water samples, soundings, and collecting many biological specimens. 1960 Bathyscaphe Trieste dives to what was believed to be the deepest point in the Mariana Trench. A depth of 10,915 meters was observed.
