RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
A photocopy of the log of H.M.S. Beagle from 1-22 February 1836 was examined and a transcription made from the handwritten script. The import of the column headings is explained, and comments are made on the course, navigation, the winds encountered, the weather, the sail handling, and the ship handling during the period at sea, and while in harbour in Hobart Town. An attempt w,rs made to derive the synoptic weather situation.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
