Sir Francis Drake's circumnavigation of the globe from 1577 to 1580 cost approximately £40,000 at the time, which would translate to several million pounds today. The expedition was funded through a combination of private investors and the English crown. Despite the high costs, Drake's successful voyage ultimately generated significant profits through the acquisition of treasure and the establishment of English influence in the Americas.
