Drake was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I, his first ship was called the Judith, but his most famous ship was The Golden Hind, he was the first Englishman to navigate the globe, he was part pirate and part adventurer, he raided Spanish ships and sunk them, he landed in what is now San Francisco bay leaving behind a sign that he had landed and that has been found.
he was hired as a privateer (a country hires him to defend them from pirates) then became a pirate, but instead of being killed, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth 1
