1581 "GOLDEN HIND"
In the Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drake's most famous ship, he became the first
Englishman to circumnavigate the globe, on an epic expedition of discovery and
adventure.
Drake had previously made a number of voyages to the Caribbean on trading missions
and had carefully learned and recorded how to navigate around the West Indies on these
previous travels.
Drake sailed between the five continents of Europe, Africa, North and South America
and Asia, a journey taking him 1020 days. Five ships set sail in 1577 from Plymouth, the
Golden Hind being the largest at 120 tons. Only the Hind completed the voyage and
returned to Plymouth. The hardship endured in overcrowded and primive conditions was
unbelievable with only 56 men returning with Drake three years after setting sail and
36,000 miles later.
