Summary[edit]

Description

A lovely old ship but pretty hard to get a photo of due to the cramped confines of its berth, This shot was taken from one of the Thames clipper boats.

"Golden Hind" was an English galleon best known for her privateering circumnavigation of the globe between 1577 and 1580, captained by Sir Francis Drake. She was originally known as Pelican, but was renamed by Drake mid-voyage in 1578, in honour of his patron, Sir Christopher Hatton, whose crest was a golden 'hind' (a female red deer). Hatton was one of the principal sponsors of Drake's world voyage. There is one full-size replica in existence in London, on the south bank of the Thames.
