Summary

[edit]
Description A replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship - the Golden Hind - lying permanently in Brixham Harbour.
The original ship, with a crew of 80 sailors and 10 officers, circumnavigated the globe between 1577 and 1580.
Five ships set out - Pelican, Elizabeth, Swan, Marigold and Benedict. During the voyage the Pelican was renamed the Golden Hind in honour of his friend Christopher Hatton whose crest featured a hind (a deer).
Sir Francis brought home looted gold, silver, jewels and cash worth 25 million pounds in today's (2003) money.
Only two of the ships returned, the Golden Hind and the Elizabeth. Taken by Adrian Pingstone in July 2003 and released to the public domain.
Date between 1577 and 1580 July 2003
