Read the full account

In 1842 The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs stated a subsidence theory as a public geological treatise. The instrument is that book, not a later drilling programme. Charles Darwin's documented role is: He wrote the 1842 book from Beagle reefs. Later drilling tests are reception. He did not command a navy chart office.
