The Golden Hind

Dread pirate or hero, Francis Drake and the Golden Hind …

"The Golden Hind", 20 x 25 cm (8" x 10"), taken to Amsterdam and never paid for.

Francis Drake’s courageous voyage between 1577 and 1580 made his reputation, many discoveries and a fortune.

Golden Hind’s voyage

remains one of the most extraordinary adventures of all time combining many of the ingredients of a bestselling story.

Francis Drake was a Devon man who captained the Golden Hind (pronounced – ‘hiynd’).

Drake built an English “Race Galleon” type of ship specially for his voyage to the Pacific Ocean.

Sailing out of Plymouth, England Drake became the first Captain and the First English captain to circumnavigation the globe.

Ironically, this painting has been ‘pirated’, taken from my studio unpaid for to Amsterdam by a Dutch woman Maryse Sportouch, and never paid for; an act of piracy if ever there was one!
