Product description : GOLDEN HIND

Five galleons departed on December 13, 1577 from the port of Plymouth in England under the leadership of Francis Drake aboard the galleon The Pelican.

When the expedition crossed the Strait of Magellan, The Pelican was renamed under the name Golden Hind by Drake in honor of one of the voyage's commanders, Sir Christopher Hatton, whose coat of arms included a golden doe.

The Golden Hind is famous because it circumnavigated the Earth in the years 1577-1580.

After traveling 40,000 miles, Drake returned to England in 1580 with spoils of treasure and conquered lands. In 1581, Queen Isabella I conferred upon him the title of knight on the deck of the Golden Hind.

Spectacular reproduction of the galleon used by the famous Sir Francis Drake.
