History on Wikipedia
This very famous sailing ship was the flagship of Sir Francis Drake. He renamed the ship in 1577 from The Pelican prior to a daring voyage to America. He circumnavigated South America and began plundering Spanish settlements and towns on the Pacific coast from Peru to Panama. To avoid being pursued by the Spaniards on his return journey, he decided to circumnavigate the rest of the world with a ship loaded with treasure. He completely unloaded and repaired the first ship on the coast of North America. And then the Golden Hind as the second ship crossed the Pacific Ocean, sailed through the Pacific Islands and returned to England around the Cape of Good Hope. Here he was greeted after three years in 1580 with a huge ovation. So great was the treasure that the voyage earned investors an appreciation of 4,700%. For this feat, Captain Drake was made a nobleman by Queen Elizabeth I.
