Five galleons departed on December 13, 1577 from the port of Plymouth in England. Captained by Francis Drake with the galleon The Pelican. When the expedition crossed the Strait of Magellan, The Pelican was renamed The Golden Hind by Drake in honour of one of the patrons of the voyage Sir Christopher Hatton, whose coat of arms bore a golden doe. After 40,000 miles travelled, in 1580 Drake returned to England with treasures and conquered lands. In 1581, Queen Elizabeth granted Drake the title of Sir on the deck of the Golden Hind. https://youtu.be/x7JEKXjRmPA?list=TLGG0MiNF_VZspYyMjExMjAyMQ
