Francis Drake, the English sea captain and privateer, is best known for his circumnavigation of the globe from 1577 to 1580. He departed from Plymouth, England, sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, explored the coasts of South America, and navigated through the Strait of Magellan. His journey took him to the Pacific Ocean, where he raided Spanish settlements and ships along the coast of California and Central America, before returning to England via the Indian Ocean and the Cape of Good Hope. Drake's expedition significantly contributed to England's maritime power and the age of exploration.
Francis Drake was born in Tavistock, Devon in around 1540, the exact date is not in record. He went to sea at an early age. Drake died on 28 January 1596 of dysentery off the coast of Portobelo, Panama. Therefore he was circa 51 years old
well I wouldn't consider it a hobby, more as an occupation... He was a pirate, a renowned pirate who was never caught. He also played a great role in the exploration of america, for he sailed with his great amount of treasure up the pacific coast of North America.
Francis Drake named the harbor he discovered on the west coast of North America "New Albion." This name was given during his expedition in 1579, when he landed somewhere in present-day California. Drake claimed the territory for England, believing it to be a new land rich in resources. The exact location of New Albion remains a topic of debate among historians.
