HMS Beagle returned to England in 1843. On her return, she was sent to Sheerness dockyard where she remained for the next 18 months. By this time the Beagle was 25 years old and despite having circumnavigated the globe, she was still relatively sound and there was one last role for her to play. On June 14th, 1845 the dockyard workers began to copper her bottom again and on July 11th 1845 she set sail from Sheerness on her very last voyage. A voyage which would see her next 25 years in Rochford district.
