The Golden Hind, captained by Sir Francis Drake, took a circumnavigation route starting from England in 1577. It sailed down the Atlantic Ocean, around the southern tip of South America through the Strait of Magellan, and into the Pacific Ocean. The ship then traveled across the Pacific, reaching ports in what is now California before continuing across the Indian Ocean and returning to England in 1580. This journey made Drake the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe.

Sir Francis Drake took many things on his voyage to America; nearly all would have been things he, as a seaman, considered vital for a long sea voyage.
It is not known whether he ever painted a picture. He was a sea Captain.
