HERES SOME INFO
Henry VII was the first king to build ships especially for war since the times of Alfred the Great. He also encouraged people to build merchant ships for trade. Henry VIII continued this. Ships were high and narrow and carried large numbers of guns. Some were carried on the upper decks whilst heavy guns were put between decks and were fired through holes cut in the sides of the ships.
Here is some info about the owner of the ship
Sir Francis Drake Drake sailed round the world between 1577 and 1580 in his ship the Golden Hind. It was 75 feet long and 20 feet wide. There was not much room for the seamen. They had to live, eat and sleep in small spaces which were hardly ever dry. They usually slept on bare boards and had very little apart from the clothes they wore. They lived off salt pork and beef, cheese, dried fish and biscuits. Without fresh fruit and vegetables the seamen used to catch scurvy. This made them tired and stopped them from working properly. Lots of them died unless they were put ashore to find fresh food. The Spanish had conquered much of central and South America by 1550. Their fleets carried back large amounts of gold and silver to Spain. English ships used to attack these treasure ships and steal their goods. Drake's ships captured a huge amount of gold and silver on their trip around the world. When he returned home in 1580 he was knighted. The Spanish gathered a fleet in Cadiz harbour in 1587, ready to invade England. Drake sailed into the harbour and destroyed over 20 of the Spanish warships. Drake called this the "singeing of the King of Spain's beard".
