Sir Francis Drake |

 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Sir Francis Drake was the first English navigator to sail around the world. An explorer and military leader, Drake raided Spanish shipping and became the greatest privateer of his time. His fleets destroyed the powerful Spanish Armada. Queen Elizabeth I supplied him with money and ships, but it was his daring and military genius that helped England become a major sea power. | ||||||
