Life in the UK Test 22
What was the name of Sir Francis Drake’s ship and which was one of the first to sail around the world?
Correct Answer: The Golden Hind
Sir Francis Drake's ship was called the Golden Hind.
Drake circumnavigated the globe in 1577–1580, making him the second person to do so (after Magellan's expedition) and the first to complete it as captain throughout the whole voyage.
Drake was also the hero of the 1588 defeat of the Spanish Armada as vice-admiral of the English fleet. Queen Elizabeth I knighted him for his achievements.
