Charles Darwin's correspondence with John Henslow along the Beagle voyage (1831-1836), partially published before his return to England, provided the young naturalist with access to the heart of the British scientific community. Furthermore, the analysis of these letters reveals aspects of the Beagle's performance in matters of interest to Great Britain, in the scientific, economic, political and religious fields. We defend in this article that the Beagle formed a network of human and non-human actors, fostered by British diplomacy and mobilized by vessels, which circulated information between London, the British colonies and the countries of South America. it follows that the Beagle was an agent of imperialism that collaborated in British pretensions to consolidate its dominion over the southern hemisphere.
