  • The Royal Navy hydrographic survey ship HMS Beagle under Captain Pringle Stokes was surveying Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego when he fell into a deep depression, and at Port Famine in August 1828 he locked himself in his cabin and shot himself. He was buried in the cementerio inglés and his grave is still marked on nautical charts. Temporary command of HMS Beagle was given to the Executive Officer of the Beagle, Lieutenant W.G. Skyring, then taken over by Flag Lieutenant Robert FitzRoy. FitzRoy became captain of the Beagle for its second survey expedition, and as a companion on the voyage he took the young naturalist Charles Darwin. They visited Port Famine a number of times between 1832 and 1834 during the Voyage of the Beagle. On 2 May 1843 the first twenty German immigrants reached the port of Puerto Hambre. In February 1968 the ruins of Puerto del Hambre were made a National Monument. In 1843 Juan Williams Rebolledo built Fuerte Bulnes approximately 2 km (1 mile) further south at the Peninsula called Punta Santa Ana (Santa Ana Point) as a fort to take possession of the Strait and the Patagonian lands for Chile. A reconstruction of the original fort has been built complete with the church, chaplain's quarters, jail, powder magazine, post office and stables.
