Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the life story of Sir Francis Drake, the illustrious sea captain renowned for his voyages of exploration, raids against Spanish treasure ships, and pivotal role in England's victory over the Spanish Armada. The author has meticulously compiled the book from various historical sources, including Camden's Miscellany, Sir Julian Corbett's works, and the Dictionary of National Biography, to provide a comprehensive and balanced account of Drake's life and legacy. Beginning with Drake's early years in Elizabethan England, the book follows his transformation from an apprentice on a coastal trading vessel to a respected naval commander. It highlights his daring raids on Spanish settlements in the New World, most notably the audacious attack on Nombre de Dios in 1572, which established his reputation as a formidable privateer. The narrative then delves into Drake's epic circumnavigation of the globe, a perilous three-year journey that saw him become the first Englishman to sail around the world. The book vividly describes the adventures and challenges he faced during this extraordinary expedition, including his encounters with hostile tribes, treacherous storms, and the mysterious disappearance of his shipmate Thomas Doughty. This book also sheds light on Drake's instrumental role in England's triumph over the Spanish Armada in 1588. As vice-admiral of the English fleet, Drake played a crucial part in devising and executing the strategies that ultimately led to Spain's defeat. In conclusion, this book offers a captivating and in-depth exploration of Sir Francis Drake's remarkable life and achievements. Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, the author paints a vivid portrait of a daring explorer, a skilled naval commander, and a key figure in the shaping of England's maritime history.
