According to Anglo history, Sir Francis Drake died of dysentery on January 27, 1596, aged 55 while anchored off the coast of Puerto Bello, Panama after an unsuccessful campaign against the Spanish. He was buried at sea in a lead coffin, near Puerto Bello. According to Spanish history, he committed suicide rather than being taken captive by the Spanish.
