Francis Drake’s circumnavigation
Francis Drake set off from Plymouth on 13 December 1577 in the 'Pelican', later renamed the 'Golden Hind'. After three years, he returned with a large bounty of gold, silver, pearls, and precious stones, becoming the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe. #FrancisDrake #Pelican #GoldenHind #1577 #Circumnavigation #Englishman #Globe #Gold #Silver #Pearls #PreciousStones
