Sir Francis Drake,English adventurer
Sir Francis Drake (c.1540-1596),English explorer and pirate. After earning his fortune plundering Spanish ships in the Caribbean,Drake was sponsored by Queen Elizabeth I to lead a fleet of ships on an expedition to the Pacific (1577). The fleet was battered by storms in South America,but Drake continued alone in the Golden Hind,robbing Spanish vessels as he went. Within three years he had crossed the Pacific,rounded Africa and returned to England,the second expedition ever to circumnavigate the globe. Later,in 1588,Drake helped to defeat the Spanish Armada. In 1596 he died pf a fever while on a treasure-hunting voyage around the Caribbean commenced with his second cousin,Sir John Hawkins,who himself had died a few months earlier. This engraving
