FEATURING
front: Three-masted ship (Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind) sailing

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. A full-sized, still sailable reconstruction exists in London, on the south bank of the Thames.
