The Golden Hind was a fairly small ship ( I have been on a copy of it) and it would have held 30-40 crew. The thing I noticed was how small the lower decks were. They are so low that a person can't stand up in it and on the lowest deck a person is on their hands and knees. As I walked the ship I was amazed that someone would get on a small ship like the Golden Hind, set sail not knowing where they were going, and come back. It is about the size of a Basketball court.
