The Golden Hinde - Sir Francis Drake's famous galleon
On our way to St Pauls Cathedral we passed The Golden Hinde
This full-size reconstruction of Sir Francis Drake's 16th century galleon has traveled over 140,000 miles including sailing around the world.
Drake was knighted in 1581 aboard the original Golden Hinde. Queen Elizabeth I ordered the ship to be preserved and it became the world's first maritime museum.
