Sir Francis Drake A PowerPoint Presentation by Dalton
Drake went with six ships: The Pelican, The Elizabeth, The Mary Gold, and The Swan, unfortunately, the other two names aren’t given.
His goals were to sail around the world and to stop the flow of goods to Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand from Cortes.
The ships had to postpone the voyage about one month because of large gusts.
Their first stop was Tierra del Fuego, which is the tip of South America.
About one year later Drake and his men took control of a Spanish ship.
He received a scarf, a mini Queen Elizabeth I, and 10,000 pounds (English money).
When the queen found out that Drake was involved in piracy, she didn’t want to see him anymore.
