Francis Drake's expedition (1577-1580) can be seen as an anomaly because it was one of the first successful circumnavigations of the globe, undertaken by a single ship, the Golden Hind, at a time when such voyages were rare and fraught with danger. Unlike other expeditions that aimed for specific destinations, Drake's journey combined exploration, piracy, and trade, reflecting both the adventurous spirit of the age and the geopolitical rivalries between Spain and England. Additionally, Drake's ability to return with valuable treasures and a wealth of knowledge marked a significant departure from traditional naval expeditions, influencing future maritime exploration.
